I’m aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

    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?

      obviously removing it immediately and without proper medical training and tools is a horrible idea. i don’t think anyone’s disputing that. but surgeons leaving bullets in people’s shoulders is also not a universally applicable solution for the aforementioned reason

      I think projectiles often push other crap in to the wound, like bits of clothing et cetera.

      I learned this from movies so it must be true.
