It’s really not a fatal injury most of the time, in fact the opposite – it’s very rarely fatal. Like most things in medicine, its meaning gets lost in translation. So you can have two people with a BSF and one might be thriving and doing well, and the other on death’s door. It’s an all-encompassing term more than anything particularly descriptive.
