He would also be informed that if I had a very low chance of survival then to make the decision NOT to risk my teamates or himself just to to save me if the danger still exists. I would ask the same of them that I would my family.
A little different than what I would do in the civy world.

Its not like that, its not the patients decision. That decision is made by the PL or leadership. If you get wounded with me, you are no longer in the CofC, you are now a door bundle that needs to be moved or left, as the circumstances warrant. Your personal wishes mean shit. Its not romantic "Go on Jimmy, save yourself!" stuff. Basically its very simple, your body is USG property. Somebody signed for your ass. And we have to bring you back or have a damn good explanation as to why not.
That's why there are triage categories and different classes of medevac.
