{{trope}}

 

A character for one reason or another can't go to a hospital, or [[After-Action Patchup|even get another character to help]], so they treat their own injuries. An oft-seen version of this trope (to establish the [[Badass]] credentials of a character) involves sewing the injury up, with or without the use of anaesthetic. They may also [[Heal It with Fire]].

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3: Snake Eater''. Part of the gameplay is that, rather than just [[Hyperactive Metabolism|eating Rations to heal]], you have to perform first aid on yourself to recover from most injuries. That includes digging out bullets and arrows with your knife, sewing up wounds, and the like.
