    I was expecting a repeat of this extremely funny clip where the cop shoots himself immediately after saying he's the only one in the room professional enough to carry a gun

      That was a shockingly minimal reaction to shooting yourself in the leg. I'm surprised he didn't try to bandage it or anything

        From what I hear, that sort of thing is surprisingly common in people who are severely injured. Sometimes your body gets so fucked up that your brain can not grapple with what just happened.

          Yeah, I mean obviously shot in the leg is worse, but when I broke my collarbone I was sort of like...

          'Ah. Shit. That's weird. Hm. That doesn't feel right. Nope. That feels wrong. That is definitely not good. That doesn't feel right at all. I should go to hospital. Yes. Better book a taxi then. Fuck sake.'

          It was weird. Didn't really hurt til I was in the hospital waiting room. It just felt profusely wrong. I felt so mortal.

            I tried to pick up a 60 pound weight moments after breaking my arm and was very confused when it didn't work

          I've also heard about adrenaline being really strong in severe injuries and people not realizing they've been shot for a while. Still doesn't make it easy to understand how people can deal with that much pain.
