Several wounds bleed at once: how they combine, and how a bandage helps

Three small cuts should be worse than one, but not three times worse, and blood loss in whole points must not vanish when frames are short. Here is how bleeding sources combine, how fractions are carried over and which wound a bandage should close.

Why this works

Wounds overlap: a body already losing blood fast does not lose it three times as fast from two more scratches. Letting the worst wound lead keeps it clear what to treat, and carrying the leftover fractions makes slow bleeding count at any frame speed.

When not to use it

Skip it when you want one clear number the player can read at a glance, such as a simple health bar in a casual game. Then each wound would need its own icon and teaching; use one flat damage over time instead.
