Well, my feeling is that we aren't going to be able to get the general populace and even police officers to stop saying "shock" when they mean "shook up" or "upset". Even when talking to medical people. I've always found it weird that some medical person latched onto the word and used it to describe hypoperfusion. and then we use acute stress reaction or other terms to describe what most people describe as shock. We did it to ourselves really.
