Do you think you would survive if you received every injury of your life at once? (lemmy.world)

I'm not thinking of virus or illness. Just physical injuries. Every paper cut, burn, broken bone, stubbed toe, bonked head, etc.
You receive all those injuries right now, in a single moment.

I think I would lose an arm and maybe an eye, plus lots of brain damage and bleeding, but otherwise I think I would live.

It's a good question, because when you think about it, surgery is a combination of carefully controlled intentional injury, and repair of that injury.
