Why is it that sometimes in the movies (and presumably real life), it is urgent to remove a bullet from a wounded person to save their life; yet at other times people carry a bullet in their bodies their whole life with no ill effects?
In the movies, it seems as if the mere act of removing the bullet means the victim will live "Thank God we got the bullet- your son is going to live!"
Proximity to organs? Thinking heart here, especially.
nah, usually they leave the bullet in, in the real life. that issue always causes rage in our household, my man being a surgeon will fume and grumble every time they proceed to pluck a bullet out of someone's arm or a leg in a movie. silly.
Medicine and High Drama have very different requirements.
