I know there have been stories of people coming back from war zones with bullet fragments in their bodies that remained for years, but not necessarily without complications. I would think your body would try to surround the needle as a natural protective defense; however, who's to say it still wouldn't work its way out to puncture you somewhere?
I'd be concerned, too, and would want to get that needle out. Perhaps the hospital would be willing to remove it in exchange for your not suing them. Just a thought!
