Might I be quite frank? Before, you asked why I was so concerned. It is for the following reason:


Point of view: Kaladin
Setting: Sadeas's warcamp, the Shattered Plains

Kaladin visits an apothecary, hoping to get some antiseptic and bandages. However, the antiseptic he wanted was more costly than originally thought, leaving him only able to purchase the bandages, a needle and gut.

He has only been back in camp for moments when a horn sounds, calling the bridgemen for a bridge run. Though he is exhausted, each time the bridge stops, Kaladin remains standing rather than collapsing to the ground as most bridgemen do. When they reach the final chasm (the approach to the Parshendi), Kaladin takes Rock's position at the front of the bridge instead of taking his privileged position as bridgeleader toward the back.

All four of the other men in the front row - the deathline - are hit with arrows almost immediately, but Kaladin takes only minor injuries. As soon as the bridge is placed, he begins finding bridgemen who were wounded in the approach and treats their wounds. He then has his men carry the wounded back to camp on top of their bridge, removing them when they get to a chasm so the soldiers can cross.
