IV hydration?

That sounds risky.

I have heard from reliable sources that the ARVN’s used this procedure.

Hypovolemic shock or... your call.

Do you think they boiled it first?

You’re right. If you can’t ingest hydration and you’re on the edge, you gotta do what you gotta do. I’m just surprised. That’s a triage decision I wouldn’t have considered.
