It is clear from the passage that serious haemorrhages ---- .

Haemorrhage is an escape of blood from the
vessels through which it normally circulates. The
quantity lost may be microscopic, or may amount
to quite a large quantity; large haemorrhages
usually arise from a large artery or vein, while
bleeding from a capillary may be shown only by a
minute red spot in the skin. Many haemorrhages
are trivial and require no specific treatment.
Examples of these are such common domestic
accidents as cut fingers and nose bleeds. Others
form some of the major emergencies of medicine.
The principles of treatment are to arrest
haemorrhage, to combat shock by restoring
normal blood volume, and to keep the patient
quiet, comfortable and confident.
