Boloney!!  Let me give you a personal scenario.  A couple of weeks ago
my neighbor came to my door bleeding heavily after suffering a rather
severe laceration to his hand while working in the garage. I placed a
pressure bandage on the injury and drove him to the ER for the
necessary treatment.  No 'prediction of the future' was necessary,
only COMMON SENSE!
