This is pretty much how I am. I have built up a remarkably high pain tolerance over the years. Pain is useful, but unless it exceeds a threshold that suggests critical damage, it isn't much to be bothered by.
President Peaches:
My thoughts when I had heart problems and was scrambling for my phone to call an ambulance were basically a calm self-diagnosis and annoyance.
The time my dad infarct'd out he just drove himself to the hospital and managed to point the pocket with his ID to the person at the front desk before collapsing.
The several times my grandfather fell off his house roof in a misguided attempt to fix a perceived defect he just got back up, had a beer, then took a nap, until he impaled himself on the fence. After that he stopped climbing on the roof and said that the stitches were unpleasant.
Clearly there is some hereditary pain treshold nonsense on my dad's side.
Kugai:
I hope the NSA's hidden mikes didn't catch that near slip.
Is it cold in here?:

A tough man, got to respect that, but it's a mistake to drive yourself if it's something that might make you pass out. Same with anaphylaxis -- if you stop breathing, would you rather be behind the wheel, or lying down with an EMT watching you?

Well, he thought it was just a chronic stomach problem he had back then going quite bad and only started sweating profusely and getting dizzy near the hospital. On the plus side his heart didn't have time to take permanent damage before a stent was installed. I made sure to explain how much damage a Chevy Silverado modified for logging work can cause in a city if the driver falls unconscious with his foot on the accelerator. It's easily several million dollars.
