Reply to comment by smellygooch18 in when a limb gets amputated, how do they stop the flow of blood? by EnchantedCatto
Generally, yes! There's really not a lot you can do to someone even as a layman that's really going to hurt them if you're trying to help, with maybe the exception of moving someone with a broken neck. It gets fuzzier for us doctors who might try to save someone with a procedure in the field that goes wrong, like a cricothyrotomy or c-section.
