There is no point talking about realism, so lets compare this to books and movies instead. A boxer gets knocked down and can't get up, he is on zero hitpoints, the bell rings. He has a moment to rest, digs deep and finds his second wind. He hops up and continues to fight. The kung-fu master is kicked through the wall by his rival, he lays there crippled by his wounds, unable to hop up. He has a flashback of his old training (probably a utlility skill) and heroicily hops to his feat. By the time he wipes that little trickle of blood from his lip he is almost as good as new. The hero has been shot in the guts, a sits there slowly bleeding out. He hears his lady's cries for help, he is so inspired that he hops to his feet and drags himself forward towards where his weapon lays on the floor. Sure, I think it is safe to assume that everybody in the above scenarios will die without medical aid eventually, however that will happen off camera during a break from the action.</blockquote>
