bullet NEEDED to come out before sealing the wound
Just in movies.
It depends really.
Stopping the bleeding, repairing the damage, and preventing infection are the top priorities.

There was a physician back in the late 1800’s named “Paré” who gave medical explanation of a bullet would that it’s “combusto”, “penetrato”, and “toxico” in that the bullet “combusts” on the skin due to high velocity, “penetrates” so it identifies the “open wound” classification and finally “toxic” because of the gunpowder toxins, foreign elements being pushing deep into the flesh and body.
So he was the first one to realize and identify clinically that bullets were “poisonous” and caused a myriad of other complications beyond the physical damage.
The post a few up from me and my realization that the lack of “surgical tools” was a huge factor.
There’s no way that a blacksmith could make anything like the long “bullet grabby tool” that looks like needle nose pliers but longer.
They forged with iron… a tool like that would be crazy dangerous to put into a body because it would undoubtedly do A LOT of damage.
Oh well… I just thought that when bullets started hitting it big, there must have been doctors and medics who were like, “Ok, we need to figure out what to do” and I figured that would have been first day shite for them.
But then again, they just looked at unconscious people and shook them and people died without CPR that was invented in like the mid-1900’s.
So lots of old movies where people are pulled out of the water or something… they weren’t breathing? They’re dead. Full dead.
