When I was 9 years old I went in for some surgery to remove some bone tumors and my right lung collapsed and I was in the ICU for 5 days. The doctors told me it was from rapid blood loss because I lost 1.5 times my blood volume. But I emailed a doctor and she told me blood loss will never cause a lung to collapse, and a simple lung collapsing should never cause you to be in critical care for 5 days, so doctors doing a little CYA is nothing new.

"I lost 1.5 times my blood volume. "

So you lost all your blood and then half again as much? Yeah, right.
