!Shock

What is shock?
--------------
Shock is a life-threatening condition that can result from severe bleeding, 
dehydration, major wounds and burns, allergic reaction, or infection in the 
blood (sepsis). This kind of shock is different from 'shock' from a surprise 
or scare. The body starts to shut down, losing the ability to perform its most 
basic functions. Once signs of shock begin, it tends to get worse very fast.
