No.

I had to assist a worker who had a 20 ton press come down on his hand. I was visiting my friends shop and he comes running into the office spewing blood. I tightly wrapped his hand in a towel had him raise his arm above his head and held it tight against his shoulder with the forearm bent at the wrist. No one else in the shop would even come close to the guy. I had someone take over and rushed him to medical care. The doc and nurse said he would have bled out by the time EMS arrived.

The worst was when I was coming home from a day at the track and was on a 2 way Ave in Brooklyn when a young man who was "hitching" a ride on the tail of a big box truck fell off when the truck hit a bump. He flew backwards and landed on the back of his head. When I jumped out to assist it was not a pretty site. His skull cracked open, there was brain matter and the blood was just pouring out. I am haunted by that image. I stayed with him, nothing I could do but try to comfort.
