When you see what looks like maggots on a living body in a medical environment it is because they placed them there on purpose in order to eat the dead tissue.

This prevents gangrene and further infection. Apparently they just eat the dead tissue and leave the healthy stuff alone.

It's not because they let themselve rot so bad that flies planted their larvae in the wound. Although that would be bad ass.
