Line 8:

The primary way you, as a soldier, can be an asset to your medic and your squad's health is to '''eliminate the enemy causing harm'''. The medic's first(-ish) priority is to tend to you and your teammates. Your first priority is fighting. The main goal for you is to assess whether your current condition is sufficient to keep fighting, or whether you will imminently die/go unconscious without a medic's assistance.

=== Self-assessment ===

When you've been harmed (usually this is by being shot), and there is a lull in the fight or enough people are putting shots down range, quickly open the medical menu using {{Key press|H}} and double check your name is at the top. If it isn't, click the circular icon to switch to yourself.

Line 26:

Keep fighting. If you cannot get bleeding to stop (either at all or the number of wounds indicates it will take a long time), or your blood loss indicator is orange or red, call for a medic.

You likely have morphine on your person. Morphine has an adverse effect on your blood pressure and heart rate, but it will get rid of pain. Only use morphine without a medic's consultation if the level of pain you are experiencing is effecting your ability to adequately engage the enemy. If you simply notice you have pain during downtime, ask a medic to double check you won't accidentally incur cardiac arrest on yourself before use.

=== CPR ===

A medic may occasionally ask you to assist in performing CPR. This is because a medic performing CPR is not any more or less effective than a soldier. It is more efficient for a medic to bandage, since they can do so quickly with '''Elastic Bandages''' and then immediately stitch the wound. CPR is performed by clicking the chest, clicking Advanced Medical treatment, and clicking CPR. Continue doing CPR until instructed to stop (you'll have to keep using the menu to do it over and over). If you notice the medic is busy and you have been doing it for awhile, you can check the individual's pulse. If there is '''none''' or it's '''weak''', keep going. If it's strong, notify the medic, cease CPR, and return to the fight.
