In Season 3 (episode "One Minute"), Hank was ambushed in El Paso by the Salamanca "Cousins" (Leonel and Marco) — cartel hitmen sent in retaliation for the DEA's work. He was shot multiple times, critically wounded, and left for dead. Hank survived after emergency treatment and a long hospital/rehab period, but the attack left him with lasting physical injuries, chronic pain, and severe PTSD that affect him for the rest of the series.
