Detach and think of blood as what is really is: motor oil that keep the engine running. If the bleeding is severe, simply wrapping the wound won't work. Locate where the blood is coming from ans apply firm, direct pressure with anything you can find (yes, sacrifice the shirt) until help arrives. Think about it: That bleeding vessel is much smaller in diameter than your pinkie finger. Hit the right spot and the flow should slow.
