A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you're a coma and you're having an ectopic pregnancy or appendicitus what happens?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you are in : A coma, it is unlikely you will have sex, so ectopic would be unlikely. Appendicitis, however, can happen, not only in comatose patients, but other patients who are sick from other causes. But usually coma or near coma patients are in a hospital, so they can get a ct scan to make immediate diagnosis if appendicitis is suspect.
