How can you treat a gunshot wound?

By going to hospital: Depends on the location and injury. Assuming you are not currently on the sidewalk bleeding out its probably a pretty good idea to see a doctor for that condition.

Go to ER: Be seen, evaluated. The wound itself needs debridement. Tetanus status checked.
