SO... Do you cut it off...?

...

Zombie epedemic. You (or someone in your party) has been bitten on an extremity (hand, arm, foot)... Do you cut it off in an effort to save them? Or do you just kill them assuming that the infection spread immediately and they're doomed?

...

The only zombie movie that I've seen wherein the bitten limb was removed was the original Day of the Dead, and I would argue that the character involved went crazy before he became infected, and that his actions can be chalked up to insanity as opposed to zombie infection...

Are there other zombie movies wherein an infected limb is cut off and the victim is still infected? Or do they survive?

Clearly my zombie mythos knowledge is limited, therefore I bring this question to you, my Horror.com officianados...

NOTE: This is clearly coming to a head (heh heh) based on my current predicament in The Apocalment... But it's something that I've wondered previously as well.
