Leave the object in place and immobilize it if possible, along with the area around the wound. Avoid abrupt impacts or movements (such as driving on a bumpy road). Go to a hospital or surgical clinic. Before the object is removed, the doctors may check to see if removing the object will cause complications or damage to a major blood vessel. There may be hidden internal injuries.
In any event, the object will have to be removed within a day or so to avoid internal infections. If done in the field, cauterization may be required to stop bleeding from entry and exit wounds -- if using appropriate antibiotics, the wound may be allow to drain once the object is removed.
