Yeah- I'm gonna call Bullshit on that old saying...
Someone used it in conversation a few days ago and I had to take exception...
There may be instances where it may be somewhat accurate, but on the whole, things that hurt you badly but don't kill you generally fuck you up for long periods of time and leave you debilitated for a longer time...
Things like:
I know a guy down in Australia who contracted Ross River Virus from a mosquito bite during a camping trip in Queensland several years ago and now he needs to be pushed around in a wheel-chair, moaning the whole time about his joints and inadequate ramp access to public buildings and mass transit issues.

Things like:
- Diabetes
- Getting hit by a truck while crossing a busy road and having your spine crushed and a skull fracture.
- Contracting chronic Lyme disease.
- Asthma

That is truly sad, and one of those so called 'minor' problems.
Just another lie from my drill sergeant. "Pain is weakness leaving the body."
TB is one of 'em, and getting run over by a city bus is another.
