Scenario:
A 17 year old girl is pinned to the ground and stabbed in the abdomen/stomach area. (Very deliberate and, you could say, methodical? In other words, she is no position to fight back, so there's no rush). She is left by the attacker(s) and is soon after found by another person who manages to take her to where she can be treated (which entails surviving several hours).
The girl, incidentally, is a fighter (by which I mean, she's been training for years. She's very physically fit, and she relies heavily on this since it is her job).
(For the weapon I'm thinking something like this or this)
Now, I have read that as long as the abdominal aorta or inferior vena cava are avoided, the person will not bleed out in a matter of minutes. So assuming the knife avoided these and instead hit her liver or spleen and smaller vessels, what would treatment and recovery look like?
For example, I read a case about an 11-year-old boy who was stabbed and kept in a medically induced coma for at least two weeks. Would this be common practice?
My main question, though, is about the recovery and physical therapy following the stab wound. I've read that the muscles may still feel tight months after the wound, because internal healing takes considerably longer than exterior (that was probably me stating the obvious), so what kind of exercises/tools would be used during recovery?
