Make smart choices or don't, I'm not your parents; I just get to tell them what happened night murse out.

Edit: was perfusing and breathing but only with mechanical assistance when I saw them last. Prognosis: not likely a good outcome, but may make for an extended life for many on donor lists. Check if you're a donor it's the gift that keeps giving.

In my ER that giant puddle of blood on the floor is usually because a new EMT trainee hit an artery while starting an IV.
