I'm doubtful that someone could survive let alone have the bullets still in them.

 

:rolleyes:

 

Well actually thats not true. If you had all these bullets lodged in your legs away from any major veins, or more importantly the arteries, then the blood would just clot around the bullet and seal it preventing any damage. Of course, it would still be incredibly painful.

why would the doctors leave the bullets inside his body???

 

Sometimes during a major operation it can be more dangerous to continue and remove the bullets. They could either be left for another operation, or if it is thought that they will not cause any problems they would be left in.

I actually saw an episode of Rescue 911 where a store clerk, who was heavy set, was shot 30 times in the chest and lived. The doctors were only able to remove like 15-19 of the bullets.

 

Ouch, poor guy. Didn't he/she die later on though? Even if he/she is still alive I bet he/she still has to go under some serious surgeries. I plan to be a Radiologist in the future, but the most I've ever heard was 8 bullets and living even some books I've read, then she didn't live happy ever after, after the surgery.
