Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Maybe a soldier has shot his way through an entire army without complaint. Maybe an Adventure Archaeologist has been through a trap-filled tomb while constantly making wisecracks. It doesn't matter, because when the action is over and his wounds must be treated, he will wince the instant a bandage or cotton swab soaked in antiseptic touches his skin.
Could be seen as Truth in Television, since the body becomes more sensitive to pain once the adrenaline rush (that would often accompany a Hollywood-style action situation) dries up. Shallow wounds also tend to hurt more than deep ones, because skin has more pain sensors than the tissue below it and injuries near the skin are best dealt with by jerking away (to avoid further damage) while with deeper wounds it might make things worse (since there's most likely something stuck in the flesh).
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Usually happens during an After Action Patchup. Often a Minor Injury Overreaction. A Sister Trope to Afraid of Needles.

In The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, Mr Rochester winces with pain when Jane starts removing pieces of glass from his wound and also when she cleans it with antiseptic. He was bleeding quite severely, but insisted that it's merely nothing. He blames the injury on having a nightmare and injuring himself with a broken vase, but there was more hustle.

The 13th Warrior. Ahmad is brought water by a Viking woman who proceeds to inspect a wound on his brow while he drinks, and on hearing his yelp, tells him he's sounding like a woman, so he quips, "Do that again, and you'll make it."

Rather disturbingly averted in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, where a mind-controlled Bakura insists that he's fine by poking at the bloodstained bandage on his arm to show that it doesn't hurt. Once his mind is fully released, however...

During The Color of Distance Unkatonen and Anito are unmoved to see a tinka hurt by a predator and badly injured after. When their human companion insists on rescuing the tinka, bringing it along, and stitching its wounds they're horrified and think she's torturing it. Tendu medicine is very different.

Subverted in InCryptid. Dominic winces before anybody touches his injury because it's worse than he thought. When the injury is actually touched, there's no wincing because of natural painkiller/anasthetic.

The X-Files: Mulder and Scully get a scene like this in season 8's episode "Essence" .After trying to take on a Super Soldier and escaping with their lives, Mulder and Doggett relay the story to Scully while she tends to a gash above Mulder's eye. Mulder winces at the antiseptic and bats her hands away as she tries to clean the wound. Mulder teases her and tells her it's a good thing she gave up a career in medicine, since she has "manos de piedra" (hands of stone). Not impressed, Scully swipes at his nose with a peroxide-soaked cotton ball. It's a refreshingly adorable scene for a season filled with drama. The scene is made slightly awkward by the face that Doggett is sitting in the background being ignored while Mulder and Scully are...being Mulder and Scully.

During the climax of Zootopia Judy trips over a mammoth tusk in the museum and gets a horrible cut on her right leg. When she and Nick find a temporary hiding place from Bellwether and her minions, Judy groans in pain as Nick bandages up the injury with an old handkerchief.

Happens to Batman in the Superman: The Animated Series crossover episode World's Finest as he's having his wounds dressed by Lois Lane. As Lois just found out that he's actually Bruce Wayne, whom she was kinda dating at the time, she is making sure he winces. Watch!

Marion gets frustrated trying to treat Indy's wounds in Raiders of the Lost Ark thanks to this. This is after the poor guy got the crap beat out of him by a Giant Mook, shot in the shoulder, beat up again by a different mook including being punched in said shoulder repeatedly, dragged behind a truck, and then had Marion inadvertently hit him in the chin with a mirror. Eventually Marion demands, "Well, dammit, Indy, where doesn't it hurt?!" which lead to them kissing...and Indy passing out from exhaustion.

Daredevil:
In a reversal, Claire Temple does one of these when Matt is treating her injuries after she is kidnapped by the Russians.
Matt himself does it a few times, like when a wound he sustained during his hallway fight reopens the next day while he's tailing James Wesley.

In the Temeraire series; the tendency of the aforementioned dragon to yelp, flinch, and whine when musket rounds he hardly notices going in due to his size are extracted borders on a running gag.

Durarara!! subverts this with Heiwajima Shizuo. While he already was established at having such superhuman physical capabilities that almost nothing could actually endanger his life, the end to episode 22 makes it seem as though he actually has been seriously injured, by way of multiple gunshots. However, we find that in episode 23, he has walked all the way to Shinra's apartment unaided with little difficulty; he then claims that at first, he hadn't even noticed he'd been shot until he saw the blood, merely thinking he slipped and fell in the rain. The specific trope's subversion comes into play as Shinra is removing the bullets from his wounds and bandaging them up: he shows no indication of being affected by it at all, and in fact berates Shinra while he's operating on him, demanding that he hurry it up so he can go and get his revenge. That's just how he is...
