ER doctor reacts to realistic nature of some MK1 fatalities, like a heart continuing to beat after being ripped out.

For an arm amputation, he recommends immediately applying a tourniquet using fabric rather than a belt to stop bleeding.

Facial trauma from a grenade in the mouth is repairable - secure airway, control blood loss, plastic surgeon can remold face.

Stab to the throat could be fatal if it severs spinal cord or brain stem.

For lost digits/limbs, bring appendage to hospital on ice but don't keep too long or risk freezer burn.
