Well you have to open your mind to the scenario I am assuming. I am assuming that time is not a factor and medical help is not a possibilty. So you have a patient that loss some blood and you would like to do what you can to prevent shock over the coming days.
Obviously anything that bolsters the bloodstream in any way is a plus. The point of the whole matter is that it is proven that the hemoglobin of the soup and red meat transport the needed irons so that the body can reproduce red blood cells which is what is needed to overcome shock. A patient can survive with a low blood pressure but they cannot if that blood is not enriched with oxygen. That's the whole point.
The patient is going to be thirsty regardless, but it is important to get items into them that will produce the best results. Sometimes that might mean shoving a piece of raw meat up their rectum.
