Spoilers A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Realistically, it depends on where you take the stab wound.

The thrown sword looks very much like it got Dunk in the femoral vein/artery. It was right to the center mass of the thigh, from what I recall.

Entertaining. Basically, everyone's dead:

The reverse hander does more than the sword. That didn't even necessarily stick in him it seemed, but was caught up in the mail.

I'm going to lean towards the medical doctor's opinion on lethality, and his immediate reaction was "right in the femoral artery - dead in 30 seconds."

Also, when watching it, I was entertained, but also constantly thinking, "yup, that's not survivable." It was action show violence, which usually turns things up to 11. Doesn't make the episode any less fun; if anything, the doctor's reactions enhance it for me. Plus, in this setting we can always say a character survived because magic/will of the gods. Even the maester looking at Dunk's infection was like, "this guy's done for." I love this series, and the extreme violence is fine with me! (Could do with less pooping, tho).

The fact that Dunc’s wounds should have killed him is just evidence that the Gods spared him.
