Shock

Removed, due to suspect citation to Smith and Jones. Feel free to add anything back which Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark directly says anything about blood vessels.

Even in hypovolemic shock, with a significant amount of blood removed from the cardiovascular system, a Gallifreyan could still compensate and survive. Part of compensating for circulatory shock is by blood vessel constriction, and Gallifreyans could control their blood vessels, dilating and contracting them at will. (TV: Smith and Jones, PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark)

I think for one thing, before Martha revived him, the Doctor didn't compensate. He was registered deceased and considered a closed case according to the Judoon's instruments, so I'm not sure what, if any, of this comes from Smith and Jones apart from "the Doctor was able to have been revived after his blood was lost". -- Tybort (talk page) 17:55, December 13, 2013 (UTC)
