I'm not thinking of virus or illness. Just physical injuries. Every paper cut, burn, broken bone, stubbed toe, bonked head, etc.
You receive all those injuries right now, in a single moment.

I think I would lose an arm and maybe an eye, plus lots of brain damage and bleeding, but otherwise I think I would live.

Depends if I can get my phone unlocked and call an ambulance or not. Unassisted I'm probably bleeding out, but if I can get to a hospital then I can probably make it. I do wonder how much skin I'll even have left at this point, considering the sheer number of cuts, scrapes and burns I've had, but blood loss should be the only potentially fatal problem needing to be dealt with immediately.

Big if, though, my hands would be a busted up mess. Operating a touchscreen would be a pretty big ask, and I probably don't have a lot of time fully conscious. I'd also have several broken bones preventing me from going anywhere to find help.
