As bright red blood is still spurting from the wound in bursts, the medic realizes that the femoral artery has been severed. |
He decides to attempt to clamp the vein and control the bleeding using a hemostat (the scissor-like device that has a locking clamp at the tip instead of a blade) |
The combat-lifesaver (regular soldier with basic medical training who can assist medic but whose primary mission is still that of a soldier) arrives to assist the medic (as well as my knee on the left hand side) |
As the medic works the CLS (combat lifesaver) comforts the wounded soldier to prevent him from going into shock |
