Carl when shot if he hadnt been treated would have died and turned, Merle if he had bled out would have died and turned. All serious injuries, yet treated and recovered.
Bites are no different than any other injury. If they are life threatening or not. If it can be medically treated regardless of the injury as if it happened by a zombie or by playing basketball in the prison yard it can be treated with measures, as they showed by treating Herschel. If a zombie bites your jugular and they cant get to you in time than yes you die due to being bitten... or you are bit and left you die. Bit and be treated if medically possible has been portrayed as possible and will continue to be.

this has been buried on this site. but the quick view of WD.
all is infected with the virus.
when you die, you "turn" shortly thereafter.
if you are bitten by a walker, you are infected (doubly?) and turn feverish, and will die soon as well.
when hershel was bitten, the crew (as it's assumed, off season) knew that there was only 1 chance to possibly save hershel, and that was by amputation.
if tyreese (tyrese, whatever) is the comic version, it's badass time!!!
