 **Step 2: Stabilize the casualty.** Implement your plan. Use the resources at your disposal to tourniquet and/or bandage all wounds. Make sure to call out what you're treating if you're working in tandem with a helper.
-**Step 3: Finalize the casualty.** Use your surgical kit to stitch wounds so they won't reopen. Use fluids, if necessary, to restore fluid volume. Use medications to affect the casualty's vitals (more on vitals later) as needed.

 While someone is extending this timer for you, you need to be **treating whatever is causing the casualty to be in cardiac arrest**. In 99% of cases (barring player negligence or mischief) it's because they've been drained of blood by being **repeatedly perforated by little metal objects**. When you correct whatever the issue is to an acceptable degree, the casualty will come out of cardiac arrest (but still be unconscious) with a heart rate probably in the triple digits but definitely not ~30. **If you're still seeing 30 BPM the casualty is still in cardiac arrest**.
-For the record: if it's taking you in the range of **five minutes** to bring a //single// casualty (with no one else taking your attention for treatment etc) out of unconsciousness or cardiac arrest, then you're //probably// doing something wrong. It is entirely possible to bring up //at least// two or three casualties in that amount of time. As with anything, it //could// be the game, but don't be too quick to blame the mod or the game. **Double-check what you're doing and make sure your process is good** and then start to investigate if something is jacked up on the game's end.
