What happens in hospital after you're gun shot?

In what situation would it be more prudent to leave a bullet in the thigh and when left in what follow up should be done?
In most cases of gunshot wound with retained bullet, the bullet is left in place. This is much unlike the world Hollywood presents, where in every movie and TV show extracting the bullet quickly seems to be of utmost importance. However, the bullet should be removed if it is within or impinging on an important organ or structure, such as a main artery, lung, brain, heart, nerve, etc. Otherwise it is usually not necessary. Follow up is only required to make sure the gun shot wound itself heals, but following the retained bullet over time is unnecessary.
What should you do after treating a gun shot wound?

What would a doctor do if a person came in the building with a gun shot in the chest missing the important internal organs?
If a bullet actually missed all organs within the chest, there would be very little to do other than wound care for the bullet wound. However, most gun shot wounds to the chest result in a lung injury called a pneumothorax, after which a chest tube must be placed for a few days.

Can you suvive a bullet shot?
Yes- depending on the injury caused by the bullet. Not every gun shot is a fatal shot. However, any gunshot CAN be a fatal one. People can die at once, or at a later time from the injury, or from infection that results from the wound.
Why the gun leans backward when the bullet fire from the gun?
It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.
