Sebastian Junger

He's going to the hospital.

I watched him.

He was in and out of consciousness.

He couldn't stand up.

He was going blind.

Like, what's it take?

Yeah.

Guys, what's it take to get a guy to the emergency room?

So anyway, they took me.

My body stayed in compensatory shock for that hour that it took.

But I was losing blood, losing blood, losing blood.

And then I got to the hospital.

And my body couldn't hold compensatory shock anymore.

And I went straight into end stage hemorrhagic shock, which is you're dead in 10 or 15 minutes.

And I went off a fucking cliff right as we got to the hospital.

And I they estimate my blood pressure was 60 over 40, which is like rock bottom.

They estimate I lost like two thirds of my blood.

If you lose more than two-thirds, even if they transfuse you and top you off with full complement of blood, they pump it into you.

If you lose that much blood, there's complications that happen with coagulants and all kinds of things like that that will kill you.

So people can die of blood loss with a full complement of blood that they've gotten from transfusions.
