Very few injuries need those extra few seconds: I would stop play immediately for arterial bleeding (spraying blood), bleeding from the ears, and unconsciousness (possible cardiac issue).

Like I said, it's a judgment call...if I have a player hit their head hard, or go down and start screaming as they grab their knee, I am killing it right now. You can screw around with those few extra seconds if you want to...I choose not to take that risk.
