I would go back to 1955 (yes, kinda ironic to think of it), with more modern medical instruments, anesthesia, sterilization, etc, and try to save my Baby Blue uncle who I was named after. He was born with his intestines on the outside and only lived one day โน๏ธ๐ญ
Yeah I'm no medical expert nor surgeon, but holy shit he might have had a better chance with more modern medical equipment and knowledge, I would have surely tried to do my most cautious best...
