That way he'll bleed more while the doc fixes him up. If he only cut the brachial artery, wouldn't they just repair that then pat him on the back and say, "Nice try".

But, this could be explained as maybe it was time for his next dose, and the previous dose was wearing off? As far as the drugs go, in that scenerio, pyscho meds or not, wouldn't they setup an IV drip to adminster any drugs that patient needed so they didn't go through sudden withdrawl? “The brachial artery splits into the radial and ulnar artery, so it seems a bit redundant for Al Ghul to cut all three.” – Wouldn’t he want to do as much damage as possible, short of cutting his arm off.
