"I lost 1.5 times my blood volume. "
So you lost all your blood and then half again as much? Yeah, right.
They replace lost volume as a person is losing it...some folks in critical situations lose more than that. You don't think they'd let her lose even half without starting replacement, right? Use yer noggin...
Uh..him, not her....
It was a 6 hour operation so losing about 1.5 pints an hour is reasonable when I was only 4'0 tall and about 80 pounds.
Some of you FReepers can be shockingly ignorant and heartless. For your information people can and do lose all of their blood and survive. Haven't you ever heard of blood transfusions? What a friggin idiot you are. My mother nearly bled to death in the 1950s. She was a rare blood type and they had to call the TV and radio stations and ask people with her blood type to please come to our hospital immediately to donate blood for her. Guess what. She lived 40 more years and kept a list of her blood donors the rest of her life. She was very grateful.
