I'll slap the next medical professional who lectures me about pain. Seriously, if you tell your doctor that you're in pain that inhibits your ability to function and he or she gives you objective pros and cons regarding your various options, you have a responsible professional. However, if he or she preaches about mental endurance and shoves values down your throat, you have good reason to email ME so I can add their sound bites to my next article on egotistical, archaic attitudes about pain in Korea. Drugs are not the only answer but the word "endure" is on my list of pet peeves. No, I don't have to endure an injury just to prove I can, and neither do you.
