Zombie apocalypse protocols.

Why would you raise the bitten area ABOVE the level of the heart? Shouldn't that have been below?

Also, if they're undead, that means they have no vascular circulation. Therefore administration of parenteral medications would be ineffective unless someone is doing CPR for you.

Since there are one-way valves in our vasculature, and it is a closed system, if blood cannot get into the limb - blood cannot get out of the limb.

If I recall from at least one Zombie movie, a "double-tap" to the face.

Love the double tap. Loved Zombieland. Funny thing about that movie is that his rules work in every major city today.

I dunno, I was just comparing it to snake bites. That seemed to be the direction this protocol was taking to attempt to slow the spread of the infection/poison. First Aid for snake bites is immobilization.
