It depends a lot on where your HT before the penalty is. At 10, your chances of not bleeding out with that sort of penalty are rather bad (though you've always got crit-fishing). 12+, you've got a real possibility of pulling through.

Real recovery from crippling or even "just" severe injury is like aging. Reality is too depressing to ever model entirely accurately. It's also a bit too random and dependent on too many variables to get more than near the ballpark.
That which doesn't kill you may sometimes make you stronger emotionally, but that's it.
Though there have a few cases of women performing their own caesareans and living. So reality can be pretty wonky at times.
