F or most of my life, I have been proud of my ability to absorb pain. I liked to think of it as a kind of superpower. I’m not claiming I am impervious to feeling pain, I like to think I’m good at swallowing it. Ignoring it. I suffer in stony silence. Stubbed toe? Perhaps a nostril flare. Crippling back pain? A modest grimace. My older sister’s funeral? I bit the inside of my cheeks until they bled.

Once, a woman I was very much in love with dumped me suddenly. In retrospect, we were not a good match. She was a Capricorn and could express her feelings as she was feeling them. I’m a Leo, and at that point in my life, I could express two primary emotions: whatever and ugh. I just shrugged when my friends asked how I was doing after the breakup. Pain don’t hurt.

I used to deal with emotional pain like a normal person. I’d lure that heartbreak, loss, or fear into the airlock of my heart, then eject into the cold nothingness of space and let it crawl around on the hull, looking for a way back in. I was tough. A lone wolf. Never mind that one night I stumbled home drunk and depressed to my empty apartment and screamed into a pillow with such force that I burst a blood vessel in my eye.

The next day I wore an eyepatch to work. It made me feel like I was the commander of a team of international mercenaries. There is a part of me that will forever think that a man — a real man — doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t wince. He doesn’t ask for help or open up about his feelings. I don’t know who wrote these rules. If I had to guess, I’d say John Wayne?

H ow many times have I seen an action movie character on a screen, big or small, take a bullet to the arm, bandage himself with a torn of ribbon of his shirt, and then throw punches? It’s a pretty familiar trope.

There’s a famous scene in the classic 1987 action movie Roadhouse where the hero Dalton, a philosopher kung-fu bouncer, refuses anesthetic before getting stapled back together after a bar fight. He says: “Pain don’t hurt.” He is, in fact, flirting with the ER doctor, who will become his love interest later. Before…

Self surgery is the practice of performing medical surgery upon one’s self, without the asssitance of an experienced medical technician. In most cases, situations such as this arise in the action and war drama genres, but may also take place in the horror and science fiction genres as well. Examples of this may include something as mundane as stitching up a laceration, or pulling a bullet out of one’s body to the extreme, such as performing an actual surgical procedure on one’s self.
