On a battle field in the 1920's, let's say this dude named Doisah has been bleeding out from a bullet wound in his stomach for about a eight minutes. When the shooting has stopped, the white flag has been waved, Doisah is lugged to a Red Cross tent. He is immediately declared as good as dead, they don't even try to help him, maybe inject him with morphine. Would this be accurate? Would it be accurate that he died less than two minutes later?

Yeah. If it was directly in the actual stomach, he wouldn't have long to live at all. Chances are, you've got about 5-10 minutes before you bleed out. Bullets have a tendency to curve when they hit their target, so it wouldn't be a clean hole. That would lead to more damage, and after 10 minutes he would be completely dead. Eight minutes makes him mostly dead, so the only thing you could do at that point would be to root around in his pockets for loose change.
