I think bleed should work differently.
There should be "Light" bleeding and "Heavy" bleeding.
Light should be from shit like people being punched a tonne o being hit by heavy items like toolboxes. You'll bleed a bit, maybe a clothing item will get bloody, and you'll take relevant amounts of damage from openly bleeding. If you're in green or yellow health, it should heal on it's own pretty quickly.
Heavy should be serious; stab wounds, gunshot wounds, shrapnel or whatever. Will openly make a tonne of blood on the floor, coat your clothes, and if you've been bleeding for long enough, you'll start getting hazy vision, maybe walking a bit wonky, and eventually you could die from blood loss.
If you start bleeding heavy, you best use a bandage or medical chems soon or you'll end up losing a tonne of blood. Alternatively you can use a Grab on yourself to put pressure on it, meaning you'll have one less hand useable.
I just want bleeding to be less "oh I'm shot and 3 seconds later I'm ok but all my blood is on the floor", and more of a worrysome thing.
Bandages should stop it instantly, chems should stop it very quickly, a pressure grab and enough time might stop it before you lose too much blood and an open gunfight with you bleeding from the face and shooting back with two revolvers will end up with you and all your blood all over wherever you were fighting.
