In the movies, when someone is shot, the prime concern is always to get the bullet out as fast as possible. "Grab that blowtorch and that lawnmower blade and dig this thing outta me!" Is this the correct thing to do (sometimes, all the time, never)?
Is it possible that the bullet is keeping the blood from flowing as much, and/or that digging it out may actually make it a lot worse?
In the movies, a "through and through" wound is usually considered better than the bullet not exiting the body. Is this true? I know some guns can leave gaping exit wounds, and well, it's just another hole to fix.
Is the lead or gunpowder residue from the bullet an issue at all? Should I grab an Exacto knife and long-nosed pliers if I take a bullet?
I added the "And Other Wounds" to the title in case my questions are answered quickly. Feel free to bring up any Hollywood wound stuff :confused:

Another one related to guns - I think people walk away from a good hard pistol-whipping a little too easily. Wouldn't that easily crack someones face or skull?
