# You otherwise feel fine.

Keep fighting. If you cannot get bleeding to stop (either at all or the number of wounds indicates it will take a long time), your blood loss indicator is orange or red, or your condition is causing you to otherwise be combat ineffective, call for a medic. Generally, if you are ~~performing~~ due diligence ~~and doing your best~~, it is better for a medic to ~~look at~~ you and ~~bitch~~ at ~~you (lovingly... usually~~) ~~for wasting their time~~ than ~~it is~~ for you to ~~go down~~ because you misjudged your wounds.

Keep fighting. If you cannot get bleeding to stop (either at all or the number of wounds indicates it will take a long time), your blood loss indicator is orange or red, or your condition is causing you to otherwise be combat ineffective, call for a medic. Generally, if you are using due diligence, it is better for a medic to state you do not need immediate attention (and thus get lovingly bitched at) rather than for you to keel over because you misjudged your wounds.

The only other thing to mention here is pain. You likely have morphine on your person. Morphine will eliminate pain, but it messes with your blood pressure and heart rate for a ''very'' long time. If you are not careful, you can overdose, or application in combination with your condition can cause a heart attack. 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 and you need to engage the enemy '''right now'''. If you simply notice you have pain during downtime, ask a medic to give application a thumb's up.
