terrifyingly dead

for real, pain is one of our senses for a reason. One of these days Thott is gonna come back as only half a torso and probably be like "whoops, forgot the rest of me on the battlefield"

Former Army medic here. This isn't too uncommon. Your nervous system has a function of dulling extreme pain to protect your psyche. I had something like this happen to me after a long ruckmarch. I had blisters so bad that the entire heel was one big blister each. If that wasn't enough, when my fellow medics pulled my socks off, those blister popped and the skin came with them in 1 solid piece each. Almost exposing the tendons and muscle. Then they put iodine on to disinfect the wounds. Throughout all of this, all I could do was giggle and laugh because the pain had become more like a tickle and the whole thing became funny as hell to me for no reason.

I learned a thing today.

Buddy of mine made a similar comment about me XD.
I have a over-tightened IT band (another "gift" from the Army), which jams up my hip joint on that leg. I have to pop it free when it starts to seize up, which causes a very loud "THUNK" sound. Well it jammed up in class one day, so I popped it free, and everyone heard it and some looked towards me like "wtf was that?". My buddy asked me after class, I explained what it was and that it doesn't hurt. His comment was: "You are going to come to class one day with your leg severed and just be like "Eh. Throw it in the break room fridge. I'll reattach it after class.""

That's actually rather interesting. I wonder if it is a sort of minor nervous breakdown that occurs after that type of pain, potentially coupled with exhaustion.

Samantha Thott's such a cutie

Gotta like all the people pointing out the physical need for pain, followed by the people that were in that kind of pain explaining what's going on.

the body is terrifying sometimes.
"too much pain! quick make it fun!"

It's an evolutionary survival technique. Better to make it seem almost humorous, but keep you functional, than have you completely shut down, screaming in agony and unable to function, while still in the presence of whatever caused you that much harm.

shock, it's shock

For my case, and likely Lt. Thott's here, it's exercise-induced hypoalgesia. Soldiers are pretty much exercising all the time, causing a release of endogenous opioids into the blood stream that dulls pain. Reducing the pain down to a tickle causes laugher and a further release of these chemicals.

I mean im squeamish as all hell, but I've done some medically questionable things when I've gotten injured, namely case in point I pulled a metal bar out of my arm one time. I didn't feel pain until after the bar had been removed, the whole time it felt a little heavy sure, but you know, I cant remember it hurting only the screaming 30 minutes later.

"How much pain are we in?"
"Shock inducing."
"Yeah, nah. Override that shit, we're trying to stay sane here."

Is this how Sam had her ovaries taken out by shrapnel?

It may tickle now; but it’s going to hurt like hell, when the adrenaline goes down.

It's a rush of endorphins and other chemicals your brain produces for pleasure. I've been working construction the last decade and in that time I've needed surgery twice, dislocated a couple joints, and sprained multiple tendons. Felt 0 in the moment, beyond a mild prickling sensation. Didn't know it was possible to dislocate ribs until I did it, but the doctor was very surprised my complaint was that it was difficult to breathe.

I'm surprised nobody has said anything about morphine or other big-time pain-killers being used. She's obviously out of whatever fight it is for now so unless she refused it, wouldn't they give her something for the pain?

She is literally just immune to pain..

Take this to prove my point..
