I actually used this to explain a concern of mine to my wife. We had a Subaru Forester that had some minor but expensive issue that kept the check engine light on, so we ignored it. And because of that missed something else that made the engine 'splode (not literally, just turned the SUV to SCRAP). About 8 hours from our house and two hours from the nearest rental car agency (and no trains). With our daughter in the back and me needing to be at work the next morning.
Anyway, I was talking about how everything hurts a bit, and because of that my general pain tolerance is way higher to the point I don't notice most of the time I'm hurt. Like the check engine light on the Subaru.
I imagine cancer is going to come along and when I find out at stage four, people will wonder how I possibly could have put up with it up to that point without going to the doctor. And I'll say I didn't even notice it.
Some people do be like that. My grandpa went to the doctor for a checkup because of pneumonia and they told him about his heart attacks that he'd just quietly had at home.
Needless to say, he didn't have much longer after that.
