Lets start with my mom..... her response was always "just rub it" when I complained of a headache or a sore knee, etc....
My dad's advice was ALWAYS "put some bag-balm on it" for any kind of skin related issues. For those of you unfamiliar with animals that you milk bag balm is basically a Vaseline-like cream for udders. My dad had a tin of it, that I swear he carried around with him in his overalls.
Now, Chief, his advice is "take a knee and drink water."
I think how typical this advise is, based on their relationship to me and their professions. Moms, hug and cuddle and rub your back while you puke. My dad, an outdoor animal kind of guy so of course his advice is farm related. And my husband, soldier. "You're fine....just drink some water and wait a few minutes."
I also think it is pretty practical too....I mean aside from massive head wounds or a sucking chest wound...a combination of the above will at least let you get a hospital....
