I thought it might be good if we shared some stories of "being in shock" and how it affected your judgment and perception of the situation you were in.
*Moderators* Feel free to move, I thought it might be good here so we could keep this in mind if the SHTF and we experiance shock 1st hand.
I will start with one time that I know for sure I was in shock- This goes way back to senior year of HS. I crashed my friends dirtbike into a parked 1 ton van (yes, a long and embarassing story. Moral- Don't be pulling wheelies at speeds you can't control the bike)...
Well, I remember screaming loudly at the top of my lungs at my brother to not call 911 as he said he was going to as I ran after him...reality was (I am told) that I was barely whispering and stagering about.
Turns out I had collapsed a lung, broken a number of ribs, severely ruptured my spleen and poked a rather large hole in my thigh, knicking the bone...not a good deal, but I was in shock and my body was skewing my perception as it went into emergency mode.
I can't help but think what if I went into shock after a gun fight or ??? You have your gun and your reality is skewed. What do you do?
