Infections
Special care with the wound to defend against deadly bacteria and infection.
Sepsis, MRSA, Staphylococcus and more those unchecked can and do kill, other lesser infections cause swelling, serious inflammation and more. Infections kill. Most deaths and serious illnesses caused by infections can generally be averted by proper care and that care can be as simple as keeping the site of the injury clean, properly dressed and regularly inspected.

Cuts, Punctures and Abrasions
Cuts, Punctures and Abrasions are a pain (no pun intended actually considered a mechanical injury but for this conversation we separated broken skin from not) when they happen day to day. If you do things they happen all of the time. Making a well stocked medical kit for your house and vehicle.
Mechanical Injuries
Mechanical injuries can be the end of everything if you are not prepared in the Wilderness or are in a Bug Out or SHTF. Mechanical injuries are Sprains, Broken Bones, Dislocated Joints (shoulders, knees, etc.), Sharp Blow, Blunt Force Trauma / Crush Injuries, etc. Without previous training and the proper items in your kit or pack your survival quotient may be reduced to zero in seconds.
