AND THEN, you want to violate lexa's already prone body by cutting her open and extracting an ai from her? titus already believed she was dead. have him remove the ai from lexa preemptively and go do his thing. he obviously had no faith in her survival left anyway.

With my limited knowledge I'll say it's impossible to do that. The A.L.I.E. 2 is not just a chip you plant on someone like the tracking device on Anya's arm. It has those tentacles (I'm not sure what to call them) and it locks on the nerves even maybe the brain stem, so it can monitor the reactions of the body and the thoughts, hence Lexa's dream of the older commanders. So it stay's on the commander (and that explains the whole, I got to die for someone else to be the commander theme) until the brain function begins to stop and the host dies. So, Lexa WAS dead when Titus removed the A.I. and frankly I think that they meant to make it look like as if the bullet hit (maybe not fully, just barely, but enough to cause damage without a proper surgeon around) to cause the massive bleed out. And Clarke has some knowledge, but even when Finn was on the life-or-death situation in season 1, she needed Abby to tell her what to do. She knows how to treat wounds, how to make a transfusion and how to treat a patient with minor injuries. Personally, I don't remember Clarke ever dealing with someone who had a bullet in his chest. Also, she doesn't have a medical degree. She just knows a few things from her mom and studying. That doesn't mean she knew how to perform a surgery, nor anybody else in Polis. In fact, how could a Grounder healer know how to deal with a bullet wound?!
