Which medics is that? I served in the US Army and while not a 68W I did run the 10 day medic course the Army offered and at least to the US branch, I can assure you no one is being told to try to envision surgical, prosthetic, and rehabilitation success rate ratio. Medics are masters of two things.....they can stop bleeding and keep air flowing while maintaining suppressive fire with their other hand and plan out what they want for dinner later and not miss a beat. But they don't have the same level of education as a Licensed Practical Nurse and are the last people anyone should want making that kind of call.

there was a documentary about a person (in german) who survived without arms and legs and i beliefe no hip/parts missing of his hips.

The doctor in this documentary said that in these cases its prefered to give pain relieve medication instead of helping surviving further.

I was not able to find it thou.
