Question for medical folks, lay folks, and, heck, anyone who wants to give me their tuppence-worth of opinion, I'm not picky: [Poll #1199230][Poll #1199230]
Having some medical background, I have to say it's incredibly variable. And as others have pointed out it, depends on which organs. What is curious to me is the "about to fail" part. I didn't remember that. But once they've failed that's obviously worse than "about to." People can live many years, for example, with stage 2 or stage 3 chronic kidney disease due to medications before kidney failure occurs (Stage 5). So, it can very much depend. I believe that lungs failing and depending on the way in which the heart is failing- those two are the most difficult to manage and might speed the process compared to say, kidney, liver, and others.
Oh, that's interesting – thank you! Yeah, the overall impression I'm getting is that there's no real way of knowing, from what information we have – it's all very non-specific. Which is kind of what I expected, really – after all, it's Stargate and not House. :)
