Let your body concentrate on repairing itself and feeling secure. Let your heart, your blood vessels, everything, bring themselves into a state of preserving your life. Bleed just enough so as to cleanse the wound, and let the blood vessels close down so that your life is preserved. Your body weight, your body heat, everything, is being maintained. Things are being made ready in the hospital for you. We're getting there as quickly and as safely as possible. You are now in a safe position. The worst is over. • Were significant results. (Between control group and trained group) • Patients were more likely to survive the trip, have shorter hospital stays and experience quicker recovery rates.
