[ETD]

I supposed that I should quit as I basically can not read Paragon's mind BUT if the question as I interpret it is referring to "how do you PREVENT shock in someone who suffered a bleeding episode" then the answer is volume and volume. No ifs, ands, or buts. Again, if the scenario is such that the person so injured is far from medical help and is conscious enough to eat then chicken soup, water, gatorade, soda, whatever. A few days after the person has been hospitalized and is stable, then an intake of read meat can help to replenish the iron pool. The hemoglobin/red cells will eventually be made by the bone marrow and will not be resorbed from the gut after eating red meat as digestive enzymes will break the hemoglobin down to amino acids constituents. Now if Paragon has to always be right on this forum then I bow to the wisdom of the group, otherwise I am a traumatologist and want to advice the forum correctly in case one of us has an accident on the trails. Thanks.
