I would say Yes, as long as you don;t shuffle any cards around. This is

discard pile...

Good question, but I would think the first card has precedance...

Good question. I'd say yes, but...

Ok... Technically. Fatigue only effects your Power/Threat Rating.
Otherwise characters with Stamina wouldn;t take any damage! So thus, in
your above example, he'd become a -4/1, which is effectively a 0/1.
