When the hero is knocked out, he won't get a concussion or brain damage. People hit on the head will not throw up.
When a hero gets a bloody nose, he'll stop bleeding almost immediately.
When a hero suffers through car chases and crashes, he never has to worry about unfelt spinal injury from impact.
A slight blow to the head is usually enough to cause total amnesia.
Characters that get shot will never go into shock.
The hero will always get shot in the shoulder, yet will be able to use his arm.
A facial scars is likely to make you go insane and seek revenge for the rest of your life.

If a person gets shot they have plenty of time to tell all kinds of things except the most important information (like the name of the murderer).
A person shot to death will immediately do just that - die. Their bodies do not flop and jerk around for a few minutes as the muscles contract involuntarily and sporadically as the brain dies a slow electro-chemical death (as with real gun-shot deaths).
