Take that, Michael Moore

A man in South Africa was shot in the side. Three weeks later, hospitals would not operate on him to remove the bullet from his side.

The man is a security guard, who got shot during a burglary. The bullet missed his vital organs, so he does not appear to be in mortal danger. One doctor told him to "walk the pain off." After all, that's what those monologuing types in G-man pulp fiction always did.
