Re: Regen & healing limited by blood loss
And for normal humans...
Are there any statistics for the effects on the rate at which wounds (1) clot and (2) heal after losing blood? It takes a bit of time for platelets to regenerate, and can take up to 6 weeks for red blood cells to be fully restored, after all.
So if I donate a pint of blood, then, for some crazy reason, bleed myself out a whole other pint, what can I expect as far as healing, if I later get punched in the face or shot in the leg? I assume that my prospects of healing will be worse overall, and also that the time it takes for total recovery, if ever, will be decreased, realistically, until my blood is fully restored (either naturally or via transfusion).
