JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man shot three weeks ago was told to "walk the pain off" and is still trying to persuade hospitals to remove the bullet lodged in his side, a newspaper said Thursday. Three Johannesburg hospitals refused to remove the bullet for security guard Phillip Mashiane, 38, who was shot during a burglary at the property of South Africa's ambassador to the United Nations, the Star newspaper said.
snip Doctors at a third hospital said it could not remove the bullet because Mashiane had started treatment elsewhere.

It actually works. The pain will eventually go away.

Michael Moore and $inator Hilldebea$t will never discuss realities like this when they go orgasmic about the “virtues” of Socialized Medicine.

As the Stoic Seneca is often quoted, Scorn pain: either it will go away, or you will.

Socialist Medicine..Like the Brits have, who actually yanked a large part of one of their hospitals budgets, because they were actually treating paitients in a timely manner, rather than forcing them to wait for weeks to be treated, so that the hospital would have no better record that otherts socialist, let them suffer and die, hospitals in the UK.
Like what Comrade Hillary wants to do here.

He went for a second opinion and that doctor told him to “keep a stiff upper lip”.
