Avoiding Pain

Two hospital roommates have similar leg injuries.  They are waiting for the doctor.
When the physician arrives he examines the first man’s leg.  The man winces and cries out several times.
The doctor next examines the second patient.  This one undergoes the examination without flinching.  At the end off it all, the first roommate was astonished to see a smile come to the other’s lips.
“How could you stand it?  I saw the doctor do the same thing to you that he did to me.  You must be made of steel!”
The second man laughed.  “I’m no dummy.  I saw you screaming so I gave him my good leg!”
