If there’s an accident that causes a person’s lungs to collapse, how will doctors treat it in an emergency? Do they just stitch it back together?

People have two lungs, that’s a feature.

When the lung collapses, most of the problem is gas in the torso that keeps the lung from inflating, so the doctor pokes a hole to let the gas out.
