I'm a British sailor wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar. My buddies drag me below decks to the surgeon. What are my chances?

I think that you will struggle to get an answer to be honest.

There are a few variables to consider, such as type of wound, severity, rate of blood loss, where you are in the queue etc.

Assuming that you survived the surgery, you had a decent chance of survival, with Larrey having an estimated 75% survival rate for amputations around the Battle of Waterloo.

I'm sorry that I can't find more relevant information for you, but it isn't my area of expertise.
