Cool. It's still wrong though. The term drowning describes fatal and non-fatal.

Mmmk well it's outdated, not a medical diagnosis, and discouraged from use by Healthcare professionals. So basically you're saying its the term because laypeople continue to erroneously use it. Drowning is the event, it can be fatal or non-fatal.

"Near drowning,” “dry drowning,” “wet drowning,” “delayed drowning,” and “secondary drowning” are not medically accepted diagnoses,3,4,19 and many organizations and lifesaving institutions around the world discourage the use of these terms."

No such thing as "near drowning". You can drown or not drown. You can non-fatally drown or fatally drown.

So first you said the term was a medical term. I showed you it isn't. You said my source didn't say that, so i spoon fed it to you. Then you moved the goal post by saying essentially it doesn't matter anyway because its a common term. Apparently you have no knowledge of outdated terms that can be inaccurate, unhelpful, or offensive. Luckily I'm free to be finished with this conversation and you're free to continue being wrong. Have a good evening.
