Alicia nods thoughtfully, pulling back her sleeves and kneeling next to Daniel. She removes Daniel's hand so she can take a better look.
"Alright. I'm going to see how bad it is. I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable," she says, then places carefully her hands on Daniel's shoulder, one right over the wound, and the other on the back of his shoulder. Then she closes her eyes for a few moments. The pain should be dulled a little, replaced by a tingling sensation.
After about ten seconds, she opens her eyes again. "You're right, you did get lucky, although there is a little bit of nerve damage. Hopefully I'll be able to fix that, though. First we need to get the bullet out, though. Now, this will probably hurt a little, but I'll try to dull the pain as best I can. Just try to relax."
She checks that Daniel is ready, and then she closes her eyes again. It takes longer this time, and she numbs him as best she can, so hopefully it won't be worse than what he's already had to deal with for a while. Slowly, the bullet makes its way back out, along with fibers and anything else that shouldn't be in there. She carefully makes the blood clot behind it, sealing up the wound as best she can so it will stop bleeding.
By the end of it, only about half a minute later, there are beads of sweat on her forehead and a look of deep concentration, and then she smiles triumphantly and pulls back her hand to show Daniel the successfully removed bullet.
