  1 lung 1 kidney 1 nut 1 boob 30% of intestine
  the person is can survive
  if these are removed by surgery
  but if the lung got pierced thru by the bone 
  this may cause fatal hemorrhage to the person oredi  
  so no chance for him to live with just 1 lung

  Yes, the person might survive from a punctured lungs because there are reserve space as we all have an oversized lungs...thanks to GOD. But it will still have to depend on the size of the bone/damage you are talking about.

  When the blood enters the lungs, the person will be breathing blood which is an extremely painful process.....10 times more painful than having water in your lungs.

  haha dunno leh, got one episode right.

  the patient was gasping for air, then he ask her to lift up her chin and they saw the airway deviate to the left, and said that the right lung collapse, need to pierce her right side with syringe. lol
