@MrQuackism You squeeze the fingernails, (test it on yourself) They will go white as blood is forced out. When you remove pressure, then the red colour should rush back into them (with the blood). If the blood takes a long time to refill (capillary refill) ie. The red doesnt return, or the nailbeds are blue/grey. Those are the symptoms of shock.

Sorry, how does one knows if that injured person is having slow capillary refill? By looking at the colour of the nails?
