I guess DC is just working off the Army axiom, Tell, Show, Do. Everyone does the Tell, DC just gave us the Show, I think I'll let a doctor Do after I have assessed my wound, tried to stop bleeding/fix break, then see if I can move myself before hitting the SOS function on my SPOT2.
Hey even Bear doesn't intentionally cut or harm himself, though both Bear and Les have done cold immersion for their shows.
