I’m aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?
Don’t you need to get the bullet out before patching them up? I don’t remember ever seeing a movie where it’s implied that digging the bullet out is sufficient, only that it’s a necessary step.
I think that digging the bullet out before you can patch up the wound would result in losing a lost of blood? I’m not sure but at least if you get stabbed or have an arrow shot into you, then you shouldn’t remove it before you are in a place where you can receive proper medical care.
That small inert lump of metal can have jagged edges that can cause injury later on. It also definitely is loaded with dirty crap that will cause infections. Overall it’s rarely “fine” to leave random, unsterilized foreign objects inside the body.
temperature and the explosion would sterilize it, but yes, they can cause injury later, but that would matter if the patient died when trying to remove it immediately no?
I wonder how often they cause things like heavy metal poisoning, thankfully not enough people around me are shot to take a poll. Although I do know several people who have been shot. The majority, shot themselves. 1 actually did so intentionally. Not the brightest bulb. (Shot himself in the shin, so it wasn’t a suicide attempt)

Might have been, sounds like he’s a shin-for-brains.
