My character get's shot from behind and the bullet enters on the left side, doesn't hit any bone or organs, but it doesn't exit. the guy lost a lot of blood, as he had to find help before anybody examined him.
how would a healer in the 17th century in the scottish highlands (not a doctor) have proceded
1. to get the bullet out
2. to stop the bleeding
3. to lower the possibility of an infection
Thanks for helping
