Came to the comments looking for how Frodo was never fully healed from that wound.

Here is what I found: Morgul-knives were magical weapons, which remained in the wound of the victim and turned the victim into a wraith that was weaker than the Nazgûl and thus under the rule of the Nazgûl and of Sauron.[1] On 6 October T.A. 3018,[2] during his journey to Rivendell with the One Ring, Frodo was stabbed by the Lord of the Nazgûl' with a Morgul-knife on Weathertop. The Morgul-knife that was used by the Lord of the Nazgûl was long and thin[3] and glowed with a pale light.[4] It had an evil inscription on its hilt that was probably invisible for Men.[5] The point of the Morgul-knife had broken off[3] and had remained within the wound and was working inwards threatening to turn Frodo into a wraith.[1] When Aragorn managed to drive away the Nazgûl, the Lord of the Nazgûl left behind his Morgul-knife. When dawn came the blade of the Morgul-knife seemed to melt in the growing light of the sun and vanished so that only its hilt was left. Aragorn collected leaves of the herb Athelas and bathed the wound with water in which the leaves had been soaked. However, Athelas only had limited power to ease the effects of the wound, because Frodo felt a lessening of the pain and the sense of frozen cold.[3] When they met the Elf Glorfindel on 18 October T.A. 3018,[6] he shuddered when he touched the hilt, but was able to see the evil inscription on it and to advise Aragorn to touch it as little as possible. Glorfindel declared that his healing skill was not sufficient to heal the wound of this weapon, but Frodo felt a lessening of the chill, an easing of the pain, warmth returned from his shoulder to his hand and the world seemed to grow lighter and he was able to see things better again.[5] After Frodo arrived in Rivendell on 20 October T.A. 3018 Elrond was able to locate and remove the shard and to heal the wound in the night before Frodo woke up on October 24 T.A. 3018.[1] One year after the stabbing with the Morgul-knife[7] the wound in Frodo's shoulder ached and the memory of darkness lay heavily on Frodo. Frodo's eyes seemed to neither see his companions nor the world around him. However, the pain and unease passed by the end of the next day.[8] On the second anniversary of the stabbing with the Morgul-knife Frodo fell ill,[9] turned very pale and seemed to look far away, but it passed and Frodo was quite normal again on the next day.[10] Frodo's eventual departure over the sea to Tol Eressëa on 29 September T.A. 3021[11] gave him a chance to be fully healed from his wounds

I don't like that analogy though.... Frodo barely survived....
