The stabbing implement often acts as a plug to reduce blood loss, and rapidly removing it means ''more'' blood loss, which will just make things worse. Also in the case of knives with jagged edges, or barbed arrows and spearheads, removing it without taking proper precautions means it's going to cause even more damage on the way out.

Prime Barry tells him to start phasing so he can get the shrapnel out so his HealingFactor can kick in. Unfortunately Faora-Ul attacks at that point, and Alternate Barry ends up [[BladeBelowTheShoulder stabbing her with the shrapnel]]. [[spoiler:As a result he leaves the shrapnel inside himself and picks up more and more shrapnel as he futilely tries to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, eventually becoming Dark Flash with the shrapnel covering him like armor.]]

Frank doesn't try to pull the arrow out, instead snapping off the shaft close to the point of entry in order to have more freedom of movement, since he and his buddy are about to be attacked by a Spec Ops team. Later, when his medic buddy is treating him, the medic says trying to pull the arrow out would only cause more damage. Therefore, he has to make an incision in Frank's back and push the arrow all the way through. This treatment method is not ''necessarily'' true. In an operating room with a trained team of surgeons, the arrowhead would have been painstakingly extracted back through the existing wound with as little additional tissue damage as possible.
