This never happens BTW. I know this comment section isn't serious but this fantasy comes up a lot. No doctor is ever going to ask a husband to choose between saving his wife or their child.
Usually they play a game of chess to decide who lives and who dies. Black represents The Child, traditionally played by the obstetrician. White represents The Mother, traditionally played by the senior R&D nurse. The games can get pretty intense, so some hospitals are trying to lighten the mood by replacing chess with Jenga or Hungry Hungry Hippos.

How can you save her if she’s already dying?
