Paul is a 23-year-old. He was the victim of a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident and suffered multiple abrasions, a concussion, and a deep laceration of his left thigh. He was discovered approximately 2 hours after the incident and is now in the emergency department. Paul’s vital signs and hematocrit suggest that he has had a blood loss of about 2,500 ml.
