Hi! 
Okay, so my character is a healthy teenage girl in the 21st Century who gets stabbed in the side of her left thigh and right side of the stomach with a 3-4 inch knife. Its attempted rape, too, so she does bang her head on the wall and stuff, nothing major. She would be wearing a knee length dress with tights.
Once she is stabbed in the stomach and falls to the ground, is it possible for her to lose consciousness for a minute or two, before regaining it again at the sound of her best friend and people trying to help her? How much blood would there be, and how might he help to stop it (He would have some, but not much knowledge of wounds, no experience or anything, plus he'd be panicked)?
And how deep would each wound be in order for her to stay in hospital for a long time (4-5 weeks) without any permament damage? And what damage would there be? What operations would be carried out and how long do they last for, and when is it done? Would the stab in the wound be deep enough to make her cry out (so people come to help)?
When the ambulance arrives, what would they do and what procedures would be carried out in the ambulance? Would the best friend be able to go in the ambulance with her?
In the hospital, would she be unconscious for a few days, or what? What happens to her? And is it possible for her to be unconscious for a few days as a way of her mind recuperating? Would she need someone to bath her and take her to the toilet, and how long would it be before she can walk? And would she need a walking frame or anything? And how long would it be before she is physically fully recovered?
How would this mentally affect her? Is it possible for her to become emotionally attached to her best friend who saved her and then spent a lot of time in the hospital with her? If so, would her recovery rate be affected by that? Like, him being there or not? How sensitive would she be to everything? Can she be sensitive to the words, 'stab' and rape' for a while straight after the attack? In the hospital whilst she is still recovering (A week or two later, depending on the above) she's going to hear some pretty bad news to do with her best friend. Is it possible for her to go into a rage/fit, where she throws things and cries - due to her being extra sensitive and attached to him and stuff? And how long would the mental recovery take and what would be done to help?
Also, in the hospital would she have the same carer to look after her?
Thank you!
