    That small inert lump of metal can have jagged edges that can cause injury later on. It also definitely is loaded with dirty crap that will cause infections. Overall it’s rarely “fine” to leave random, unsterilized foreign objects inside the body.

      temperature and the explosion would sterilize it, but yes, they can cause injury later, but that would matter if the patient died when trying to remove it immediately no?
