Sometimes nothing can be done. Women who are sick, have cancer, some defects, or sometimes just incredibly stressed can easily die during childbirth. Or the body could just give out, y'know?

People are much tougher than movies make us out to be. You could **** out half the blood in your body, lose all your limbs, half your brain, a kidney, most of your liver, a lung and half your digestive track and survive if the medical team is good enough. And they are usually pretty ******* good.

Unless you're so sick you could literally die if you coughed hard enough (in which case, you'd be too sick for your body to support a baby and you'd probably a have a miscarriage), you can survive childbirth, assuming the do a C section. It's a pretty safe procedure which doesn't put much strain on the body. The most dangerous part about it for a sick person would be the anesthesia, since that can greatly weaken your heart and organs and lead to complications, but that can be avoided, by just using partial anesthesia - something not too pleasant, but still a whooooooole lot better than the pain and strain of natural child birth.

Bodies don't just "give out". That was a myth created by **** doctors, so they don't have to say "We don't know what killed them". Stress doesn't kill you. People who are constantly stressed almost always have an unhealthy lifestyle. It's the yeas of abusing your body that kill it, not the stress. In the same way, back in the old days when dying during childbirth was more common, it was mostly due to infections in a day or two. The actual act of childbirth isn't what kills you. Well, except maybe in medieval england when for a time they had this fad, where they'd marry off girls at the age of 15-16. In those cases, their bodies just weren't developed enough, so when the baby came out I'd rip and tear everything in its' way so hard it'd make the Doom marine proud and the mother would die of blood loss. But in a modern hospital that's more or less impossible.

So, in short: No, no zey don't. Bodies do not just give out. Dying during childbirth is not easy. Dying in general is pretty hard and pretty painful.

"Maternal death is defined as "The death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes"

>42 days
I am talking about the act of child birth. The **** going on in the comic. The one where the woman has less than an hour to live. An HOUR. A lot less than 42 days. And, like I said, most of them are due to infections several days after the fact. This mostly happens in developing countries these days. And by "developing", I mean "unga bunga" and designated countries, where they think cow **** is an anti-septic. Not in ******* japan - a first world country with some of the most modern medical equipment on the planet. They got robot nurses, ***** . ROBOT NURSES!

well in this case it was a mixture of negligence and incompetence, they have already determined that she had a heart problem and therefore should not have been going through a highly stressful natural birth instead of a c-section where she would be sedated

The sign on the bed says cardiomyopathy
And google tells me it is a disease of weak heart muscles
She was never going to make it mate

MFW I'm dealing with emotions I do not need at the moment

Actually, she was going to be perfectly if they'd just done it properly and gutted her like a fish to remove the little human-shaped tumor inside her.

Or, in layman terms, performed a C section. Some people do it just to avoid the pain and strain of childbirth. Or the damage to the ol' cock holster. Someone with a heart disease would have all the reason to go for it, because it eliminates the "PUSH! PUSH!" aspect of popping the little bastard out and would make the whole thing a hundred times less straining on their heart, thus making it pretty damn safe.

Like I said, if this were taking place in a proper hospital with doctors that knew their **** , she'd be perfectly fine. She's just in a fictional one, where everyone's a ************* moron. I mean, come the **** on, she was clearly dying at the start and the doctor just walks away like "Welp, nothing we can do here" while she's trying to hold onto her life. If that **** were happening in a regular hospital, everyone would be freaking out, there'd be 5 nurses there, trying to stabilize her and they wouldn't give up until after they're sure that both clinical death and brain death have occurred. The first is the heart and breathing stopping. The second is the brain dying a minute or so later due to a lack of oxygen. If this were realistic, death would be pulling her soul by the arm, while the medical team grabs a leg and the two start playing tug of war for about a minute to see who wins. And chances are, the medical team would win. Death is one scrawny ************ , going up against a team of people specifically trained to beat his ass.

This is very unrealistic and forced. It's just trying its' hardest to make you sad. And will succeed if you don't stop to think about it for a second.

What are this for ******* noobs? That is not even the correct rode that asshole has in his Hand.

Maybe it's a veterinary clinic?

staff of hermes will never be the right rod for a medical program, animal or human

Oh, I thought he was talking about the snakes. Cause there's only supposed to be one. Sometimes I've seen two used when it's something to do with animals, though the two snakes weren't on a staff, they were around a cup.

I've got great respect for medical teams whos' job it is to save lives. GPs, not so much.

i'm not 100% sure but in the case of Cardiomyopathy wouldn't most hospitals preform a c-section in order to increase the chances of the mothers survival?

Yup. It's almost considered standard procedure when the patient has a heart condition they know of.

ah so then that hospital staff was just incompetent
