Hello, you've reached the voicemail of Doctor John Watson. I can't come to the phone right now, so please leave a brief message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.

[He might actually get back to you... but there is a 50% chance that Sherlock will answer instead. Are you feeling lucky?]

[John doesn't miss a beat, having expected the response, and calmly continues to pat the wound dry before applying some ointment.]

I'd honestly say the same in your place, but right now, I'm speaking as a doctor. Using a gun will exacerbate the injury and throw off your aim. Take a day or two off, or maybe do some paperwork instead of going out on patrols. You have that luxury here.

[Even if Shane doesn't take the advice, at least John can say he tried.]

[John's response is met with a roll of Shane's eyes and a single "ha." Of course, the doctor in John would tell him to take a day or two off, do something like paperwork, something easy like that... But the dumbass in Shane has no plans to do that. ]

You know I ain't real big on paperwork.

[Shane can do what he wants, really, but John will continue to gently nag while he bandages because it's his job (and because he cares, as a friend).]

Hm, what's that annoying saying again? Ah, yes. A police report a day keeps the doctor away. I think that was it.
