Someone is hurt pretty bad, yet still conscious. They need medical help, likely need surgery. They're getting ready for a major operation, but they order the doctor not to use pain killers, let alone major anesthesia. Sure, they know they're in serious pain and need to be treated - but for these folks, whatever the reason, [[Major Injury Underreaction|pain isn't much of a problem]] -- to the point that they may outright say, '''"Screw the Pain Medication!"''' |

* In the [[Real Person Fic]] ''[[Just Taken]]'', [[Spice Girls|Melanie]] strictly requests that she isn't given pain medication after she is severely injured in a fight, which included getting ran over by a car. She even woke up during the middle of emergency surgery, which she just [[Shrug Take|shrugs it off]]. Of course, this request was later denied when she finds herself in a different hospital, whose staff administers the medication by force. Melanie complains that the medication was making her even worse, wanting to vomit at one point. However, considering one of the reasons for admission against her will was due to her eating disorder, she wasn't able to do so. |

* ''[[Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance]]'': The cyborg warrior Raiden is impaled by a sword during his fight against {{spoiler|Monsoon}}, and he asks his [[Mission Control|support team]] over radio to "turn off his pain inhibitors".
