A 43-year-old woman became dangerously ill because she had been bleeding for a long time.

Her blood had very little hemoglobin, which carries oxygen around the body.

Her hemoglobin level was 1.3 g/dL.

Her blood pressure was also very low when she arrived at the hospital.

Doctors first gave her blood transfusions in the intensive care unit.

After she became stable, doctors removed her uterus using keyhole surgery.

The surgery removed fibroids that were causing the bleeding.

Doctors and nurses at KIMS Cuddles worked together to save her life.
