My main character gets shot and survives. One thing that bothers me is a character who is injured and keeps going like the energizer bunny. I try to set up for a rapid recovery, mentioning training that instilled stoicism, etc, but there are times and situations when he will be in pain and show it. I add some realism by mentioning changing dressings and have him try to patch himself up a bit before limping off etc. I want to be reasonable in this situation, but a point comes when someone might say ‘enough already he’s hurt, get on with it’. Should I just wait until I reach that point?
