I know the medical term shock isn’t accurate, but like the scene at end of captain phillips where he finally goes into “shock” or panic attack, what is happening exactly and why. It’s poor circulation but where is the blood? Is it all at vital organs only or something, or is heart just not pumping strong enough? If so, why? Isn’t it more detrimental to go into shock right now?
