No go Paragon. Hemorrhagic shock is a mostly a loss of fluid state.

The patient needs more red blood cells to carry more oxygen so that the organs do not shut down, which is, by definition, hemorrhagic shock.
Both chicken soup and red meats provide access to valuable plasma and hemoglobin which is the building blocks for the red blood cells. If the patient cannot acquire the chicken soup or benefits of the red meat orally, it has been shown that fluid resuscitation can be achieved through proctoclysis.
Also, simple IV fluid resuscitation using saline is being studied as being detrimental since it does nothing to increase blood cell count and dilutes the blood loosening clots and lessening clotting ability.
Nice try though!
