What happens if someone's thyroid is cut in a neck injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can bleed more: Not as much as getting a major blood vessel but the thyroid is a very vascular organ and near a lot of other important structures. The type of injury would dictate the consequences but in any case need to be dealt with emergently.
