What is the probability you will die if your lungs stop working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complete!: If one stops brething they die. If lungs are severely compromised by infection-pneumonia, collapse, cancer, trauma etc one will die unless treated promptly and effectively. Lungs are critical!.
