His nickname was "Old Hickory" for being tough as hickory when he either fought in battles or was just in a usually fight.
He was shot two inches from his heart and didnt go to the doctors or anything. He kept it in his chest till the day he died. Also, he was once slashed by a British Officer when he was a child after he and his brother were captured by the British. The officer commanded Andrew Jackson to shine the officer's shoes but when Jackson refused, the British officer hit him with his sword that left a huge scar on his chest.
