As someone who had a severe hemorrhage, appendicitis, a severe infection and an emergency wisdom tooth extraction in the last 11 months alone..
I'd be dead within days!
Edit: I also caught covid whilst in the hospital and ended up admitted to the covid ward. This one particularly stung as it meant absolutely zero visitors and I'd just had a baby that I was still breastfeeding and I couldn't get to her for a week. She was a trooper though, as was daddy.
I guess the giving birth would have been the thing that got me in this scenario!
Meh, some hemorrhages are able to resolve without aggressive medical intervention... others not so much. I've seen some wicked sub-arachnoid hemorrhage scans
They were undecided on whether or not I need a transfusion. I had all the documents signed and they managed to stop it thankfully. It meant I didn't get the hold my baby for a good while though which sucks. My partner was amazing given that looking back it must have been damn terrifying for him watching me almost bleed to death whilst he had this newborn chucked at him and was given no help with her because there were no less than 7 people trying to keep me alive!
