This is a question I had, could someone at least barely survive with 6 pints of their blood missing? In a story, a character cuts an unconcious person, who wakes up, and starts attacking the person cutting them. This causes the cut to be deeper than usual. The person loses six pints of blood.

I need to know if a person could survive, even just barely, with six pints gone.

Fiction always has a little bit of truth in it.



Hmmm...
COPY PASTE MAGIC:
A lot of sites say that if you LOSE 3.5 to 4 pints of blood, well, you're dead.
Losing 2 pints is when you're in serious danger.
So, no. But, fiction is fiction.

Look at the subforum you're in.
"General Discussion" . Not "Minecraft"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, he's dead. He couldn't survive
But, this is fiction, so anything can happen.


Yeah, I know.

To everyone saying "It it's fiction, why did you ask for facts?"

Because, I can still include science in a Fiction story.

Ahh okay. I just want the character to liveeeeee </3


It was integral to the plot that the person died. I just wanted to know IF they could live.

You're in General Discussion, for stuff that isn't Minecraft. Head back to the Minecraft section of the forums for MC stuff.

Honestly, they wouldn't be awake to notice that they lost that much blood is my assumption. I'm not a doctor but 6 pints... you might as well not wake up at all.

Well then you can't publish your story without contradicting logic

Says who? Nobody said this was realistic fiction....


And yet they were asking for realistic facts.



Because even fiction has its basis in fact!

Also, that story seems highly unrealistic. Pretty sure that if you were being cut up while unconscious, you wouldnt wake up. Even if you did, the you'd be in that much pain moving would be impossible, since I am assuming the cuts are deep due to him losing over 50% of his blood xD


Wouldn't you wake up if someone was trying to exsanguinate you with a knife? They woke up, flailed around, and caused more wounds. some deep, some not.

Also, no dip it's unrealistic! It's about a High School trapped by a man called "The Overseer" and 26 people are chosen to play Saw-like games to save everyone.

switch from 6 to 4, or 3, 2 or one.


I can't.

I lost 5 pints of blood as a baby, because my blood wouldn't clot. I barely survived. So they couldn't survive without immediate medical attention.

It's in a school in the story, so I think they may be dead. Thanks for the Info!

Anyone else want to input?

There's a section called "General Chatting" that's not just for Minecraft. This is in that section.

It might be possible. The person would need to have enough blood to flow to all parts of the body and back. It is unlikely, though.

I'm no doctor, but judging by the amount of people that faint at my high school blood drive, where I think they only take one, I'm going to guess no.

EDIT some quick googling seems to show that the limit is usually about 40% for health adults. 6 pints is a bit over 50%, so yeah, that guy is dead.
