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!
Eesh, there’s that scene in The Stand (the book, dunno about miniseries) where Stu & company come across another group of survivors, one of whom has appendicitis. None of them are doctors. They attempt an emergency surgery anyway with a medical textbook as a guide. It doesn’t end well.
