A while back I was walking around in Rome and I turned a corner to see a young man who only seconds before had been hit by a bus. He was lying down on the sidewalk, his sister crying while holding his head in her lap, his shoe and sock missing, his foot covered in blood, his face a pallid white, and his whole body shaking profusely. I got him out of the path of foot-traffic and got him in the proper position, took a good look at his wound (it was relatively minor, about four centimeters diameter lack of skin on his ankle but no damage to tendons or bone), bound it with his sister's shirt (I left my <s>first aid</s>healer's kit back at the <s>hostel</s>inn, stupid stupid me), did a full body pat-down to see if there was any more damage (there wasn't), gave him some water, and talked him through all of it. By the time I was done, not even a <s>minute</s>few rounds later, he had stopped shaking, his face was a good colour again, and if I'd let him he could have walked. He wasn't healed back to full, but he had a hell of a lot more hit points than he did a few rounds earlier.Just my two coppers.</blockquote>
