	If injured in the field, ~~press the "H" hotkey~~ to ~~bring up~~ your ~~medical menu~~. ~~Immediately begin by clicking on the injured/colored limb~~ and ~~diagnosing the damage on the right sub menu~~.		If injured in the field, Open your inventory to quickly see your injuries. You can hover over each injury to see its status, and quickly determine how to treat it. You will have Access to 2 bandages, 2 tourniquets, and a stick of morphine.
	~~Utilize your basic medical items (~~2 ~~elastic~~ bandages/2 ~~packing bandages/1 tourniquet) to stop any bleeding you may have. A list~~ of ~~injuries and bandage effectiveness can be seen to the right~~.

Inform your leadership that you require a medic ASAP.''' Failure to do so can result in you going unconscious and being killed by cardiac arrest.

	'''If you are in pain, ~~have a broken bone, hear your heart beat, or~~ have lost a substantial amount of blood, ~~inform~~ your leadership that you require a medic ASAP.''' Failure to do so can result in you going unconscious and being killed by cardiac arrest.

	Likewise if you have been shot in the chest you should '''always''' check your chest wounds for a '''Pneumothorax''' aka a "sucking chest wound". There are 3 types and all of them require a medic immediately! You should alert your team so they can ensure you do not pass out and drown in your own blood before the medic arrives. If you have access to a chest seal go ahead and apply one. '''But you still need to see a medic for full treatment!'''

	Otherwise once your bleeding has stopped, you have fluids in you, and all tourniquets are removed, it is safe to continue fighting.		Otherwise once your bleeding has stopped, you have fluids in you, and all tourniquets are removed, it is safe to continue fighting.
