What's the equivalent to pinning down a crazed 200 pound mammal that's spurting blood over your hands while you're trying to clamp severed arteries and get a field dressing established before it dies on you? I can't see any likely alternative to that at all. Lives are dependent on the average GI knowing beforehand what it takes.
