The Giant seems to be limited by something or someone.  He told
Cooper in his first visit "That is all I am permitted to say," and
also answered, "That cannot be revealed," when asked where he was from.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that if SDC was aware of 
Cooper's bleeding he may not have helped him because he either
knew that he didn't need to or because he was not permitted to do so.
In reference to the Giant/SDC relationship, I thought it was
interesting to note that in _Industrial Symphony No. 1_ (of which
TP seems to be derivative of) Julee Cruise plays the part of the
"Dreamself of the Brokenhearted Woman" (Laura Dern was the Brokenhearted
Woman).  I guess we could use this term (dreamself) to describe the SDC/Giant
relationship.

That's classified. (although there is a reference to Gumm in
Dale's autobiography).
