Line 18:
** However, this means that Reid has to spend a day or so with a bullet in his shoulder and not let anyone know about it. Yikes.
* At the beginning of ''[[The Bourne Series (film)|The Bourne Identity]]'' the fishing boat's medic digs two bullets out of the unconscious Jason Bourne's back.
* Inverted in ''[[The World Is Not Enough (Film)|The World Is Not Enough]]'', where leaving the bullet in results in superpowers. [[The Dragon]], Renard, was [['Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain|shot in the head]] by MI6, the bullet didn't kill him, but it is slowly drifting towards his medulla oblongata which will eventually kill him. Unfortunately for Bond, this somehow causes him to [[You Fail Biology Forever|feel no pain and become stronger]].
 
 
Line 55:
* Played straight in ''[[Ace Attorney|Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]'', where a gangster was shot in the chest, miraculously survived and had an operation to remove the bullet, or else he'd die in six months. Justified by the bullet's location, extremely close to the aorta.
** But averted with {{spoiler|Von Karma}} in the first game. The villain has had a bullet lodged in their shoulder for 15 years, and its presence is key to solving the case.
* Played absolutely straight in ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)]]''. Leon [[Taking the Bullet|Takes The Bullet]] for Ada. Ada then says that she has to remove the bullet. She does so, even though they are in a sewer (thus increasing the risk of infection), she has no apparent implements to do so, [[Zombie Apocalypse|there's a zombie virus loose]] and Leon's presumably covered in zombie fluids (increasing the chance, that should he die, he'll become a zombie), and [[Worst Aid|she bandages his wounds on the outside of his uniform.]]
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', Snake is able to dig out bullets, arrows and various other projectiles from his body with his knife. Doing this ingame will cause the wounds to heal faster, but leaving them over time will cause the wounds to naturally heal around them, leaving the projectile in the for remainder of the game.
