When Claire and the doctor made the boiling acid bath to remove the shrapnel it looked like they only went after the shoulder and Luke was fine. Did I miss a mention or scene when they got the gut wound? To me that was the critical one with the shoulder being a non issue

I actually saw the exact opposite - I thought they only went after the gut shrapnel and ignored the shoulder. Either way, the filmmakers were definitely sloppy with the consistency in that scene. He had two wounds and should have had two separate shrapnel-extraction sequences.
I'm guessing they were just trying to play up the suspense and drama of barely getting the last piece of shrapnel out before he flat-lined again. Trying to go after even more shrapnel under those conditions would - for the viewer, at least - have been overkill. -

My wonderonce was why did they need to immerse him in acid, when wouldn't simply covering the area around the wound be enough ? His legs were dunked but there was no wound there, his arms too, and his head, and his back and his junk. All these parts had no wounds, so why was it necessary, other than for ae visual purpose. Maybe a cut scene has him ask this very question afterwards and she gives him a Doh! expression along with a my-bad.

You really need to pay more action when watching shows. Claire mentioned after studying Luke's tissue sample that the shrapnel pieces are moving so they were converged into the same area when Claire extracted them.
