Man, did they do the stupid on NCIS when Dr Palmer got shot. He insisted Knight remove the bullet. In general, you don’t want to do that unless in a operating room, and it won’t make things instantly better. Sure in the past they had to get out any foreign matter as that would cause infections, but now, leave the $#@! bullet in until the OR does it.
