For example, I would have died in childbirth, killing my mom (caesarean), then, from ear issues as a child/young adult, tooth infection, and then, in childbirth myself. Modern medicine has saved me multiple times- and these are fairly innocuous standard things.

At max I would have made it to 7 then died - leukemia. Almost certainly would have been killed by some infectious thing before that however.

1. My mother would have died in childbirth, probably would have taken me with her. 2. Jaundice. 3. Burns that needed skin grafts at 18 months. 4. Poisoned at age 7.

I wouldn't have even existed! Was born when my mom was 42 and I was her second cesarean... and my dad had malaria as a kid (he lived in Egypt), I owe a lot to modern medicine!

For me, not sure how, but pretty sure at the Diet of Worms.

I might've died of infection from the 2nd degree burns I got spilling boiling water on myself age 8; my sister would certainly have died of a burst appendix (she almost did even now!); my miscarriage at 12wks probably wouldn't have been fatal, though infection's always possible.

Women have it so much rougher than men when it comes to potential deadly medical conditions. I mean, childbirth ...
