Hello! I'm new to this forum, but it seems that this might be the place to find the answer I'm looking for
During a fight my MC has received a pretty bad blow to his chest with a crowbar, which has severely broken his ribs. My question is, if the injury is severe enough to puncture his lung, can he still survive long enough to get away from the fight (aided by another character)? And will he be able to talk, even if with great pain and difficulty, during this time?
I've did research on collapsed lungs and hemothorax, but I wasn't able to find out how long it takes from the situation to go from bad to extremely bad, nor if it's possible to talk.
What I basically need is to put the MC in a situation where he has an internal wound, not treatable by someone without medical knowledge, that is life-threatening but still allows him to move from place A to place B (he can collapse, once he's in place B) and talk a bit in the process.
