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.

You be the judge of it:

  • punched through a tempered, textured, 3mm thick glass, leading to several cuts on a hand and wrist
  • kicked a glass panel on a door and got a nasty cust on my toe
  • several instances of cutting myself on different types of thorny bushes
  • perforation with glasses rim on my eyebrow
  • severe cut on my other eyebrow, another on the bridge of my nose
  • broken arm, twice
  • fall from a 1st floor balcony, landing on a bush, after breaking a cabinet with my back and legs, until finally reaching the ground
  • hundreds, if not thousands, of small scrapes and bruises
  • bitten by dogs, leading to deep gouges, on my calves
  • severe tear on the back of my left hand, with a broken bone, not exposed, leading to surgery
  • many, many, many sprained ankles and wrists
  • three pulled teeth plus all the bleeding from losing my baby teeth
  • minor burns on hands and fingers, from cooking
  • several nasty cuts from kitchen knives and a perforation by a lobster spike, which led to a severe infection, with a piece of lobster shell stuck underneath a finger nail
  • a few near choking to death episodes
  • two electrocussion incidents (230V), for mere seconds

  • a few near choking to death episodes

If they were really near, then two combined should be enough to end it, no?

Your arms and hands would be pretty messed up. Depending on which arm was broken twice and how badly, it may be permanently damaged.
Biggest thing is probably blood loss. I think your survival comes down to how much blood you lost in your glass injuries and from every other injury combined.

Source: not a doctor, just guessing.
