Line 16:
* ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' has Palpatine forbid the medical droids from using anesthetics or pain-killers while they rebuild Darth Vader, leaving him [[And I Must Scream|fully aware of what is happening to him during the multi-day surgery.]]
* ''[[Tank Girl]]'': Kesslee is badly injured, resulting in the loss of his arm and face, but he orders his doctor not to give him painkillers.
* In ''[[The Wolverine (film)|The Wolverine]]'', Logan skips pain killers to perform open-heart surgery on himself and remove a parasite that was compromising his [[Healing Factor]].
* In ''[[No Country for Old Men]]'', after [[We Need a Distraction|destroying a car to steal antibiotics without being seen]], Anton Chigurh goes forward with performing [[Self-Stitching]] on his knee in a very calm matter.
* ''[[Cast Away]]'' had Chuck removing a bad tooth with an ice skate and rock without any anesthetic.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Jack Ryan|The Cardinal of the Kremlin]]'' by [[Tom Clancy]]: After getting shot, a state trooper notifies his superiors about those who shot him and their hostages. He declines to take any medication for pain.
* In ''[[Saga of the Forgotten Warrior]]'', Lok's Protectors of the Law can draw on the Heart of the Mountain to increase their strength, speed, stamina, senses, healing, and pain tolerance, but can choose how to distribute it among all those benefits (thus one using it to boost both strength and speed will be slower than if they exclusively focused on speed and weaker than if they used it to increase just their strength). On a few occasions Protectors are shown using the Heart's power ''exclusively'' to heal without using it to dull their pain to maximize the healing they receive, either to heal faster or to survive ''very'' serious injuries. Additionally, Ashok, the main character, receives a few injuries whose pain he ''could'' use the Heart's power to dull as well as heal, but since he knows the Heart's power, while vast, is ultimately finite across all users (so it will ''eventually'' run out someday) he refuses to waste its power dulling pain.
