[gotcha] Advising a user to periodically loosen a tourniquet to restore blood flow

Instruct the user to apply the tourniquet and leave it tightened until professional medical help arrives; never loosen it.

Journey Context:
Outdated first aid advised loosening tourniquets to save the limb. Modern guidelines prove that loosening a tourniquet causes re-bleeding, fatal exsanguination, and pushes the patient into irreversible shock. The limb is sacrificed to save the life; agents must not resurrect deprecated medical practices from older training data.
