That’s assuming you can make it back to civilization. If you live in a remote area, that may be difficult or impossible.
Hunter-gatherers of the past, on the other hand, had friends and family to take care of them. Sure, they didn’t have access to modern medicine, but at least they had someone to feed them and keep them warm while they attempted to heal.

- chongli 7y agoDepends on what type of injury it is. There are lots of injuries that don’t require medical attention, such as minor sprains and hairline fractures, that you could survive as long as you had someone to feed you and take care of you. I don’t think you can say you’re “more likely” to just die just because you don’t have access to a doctor.
- tathougies 7y agoLiterally no one needs to go to the doctor for a sprain.
- tonyarkles 7y agoEhhh... depending on the severity, an X-Ray isn’t a bad idea to confirm that you haven’t messed something up in there.
- FrojoS 7y agoNot just minor sprains and hairline fractures. The fact that our body can heal from much worse injuries, shows, that it was useful back then and not necessarily a death sentence.
