The bullet, now unrifling, enters backwards between his shoulder blades. All the blood seeps into the shredded mess of his back as the hole closes. Spinal chord mends. Vertebrae puzzlepieces are put back together. Veins and arteries and other little rivers of life force unexplode and are mended. Pieces of rib find one another and are soldered again in the process. Sternum closes back in on itself with no lacking bone. Heart pounds. The bullet is thrown from the chest.
He wakes up.
