bleeding
Let an agent explain bleeding and its kinds and causes in general terms, relay first aid guidance from recognised bodies, describe medical assessment and treatment as documented, and route emergencies and personal questions to emergency services and clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain bleeding and its kinds and causes in general terms, relay first aid guidance from recognised bodies, describe medical assessment and treatment as documented, and route emergencies and personal questions to emergency services and clinicians.
The loss of blood from the circulatory system through damaged vessels, externally from wounds or internally into body cavities and tissues, ranging from minor cuts to life-threatening arterial haemorrhage and bleeding from the lungs, throat, urinary tract or umbilical cord, with causes including injury, surgery, disease and medications; bleeding is a clinical sign and a leading cause of preventable death, managed by first aid and medical treatment, and this entry gives general first aid and health information, routing emergencies to emergency services.
What it is for: Loss of blood from vessels.
It can be explain kinds and causes; relay first aid guidance; describe assessment and treatment; route emergencies.
