What REALLY Happened Inside Jon Snow’s Body?

[00:00:00]We all watched Jon Snow take multiple daggers from the Night's Watch, but what actually happened inside his body? Let's break down the anatomy of his murder.

[00:00:10]The first few strikes target his abdomen. Anatomically, a medieval dagger plunging into the gut is going to shred the small intestine and likely puncture the liver. This immediately triggers acute hemorrhage and hemoperitoneum, massive uncontrollable bleeding into the abdominal cavity, but the final blow is the fatal one. A direct thrust to the chest. The blade slips through the intercostal space, the gap between the ribs, slicing straight through the pericardial sac and into the myocardium, the thick muscle of the heart. This causes massive blood loss and likely cardiac tamponade, where blood fills the sac around the heart, crushing it so it can no longer pump.

[00:00:55]Medically speaking, without some serious magic, there was zero chance of survival. Comment below whose pop culture injury we should diagnose next.
