Wanting a painkiller because you're performing on stage with a broken hip night after night doesn't make someone a wuss. Quite the opposite, actually - smarter people would just cancel or postpone the tour.

No different than crawling down dark, smoky hallways wearing over 100lbs of gear and dragging a couple hundred pounds of fire hose on knees that are bone on bone and with herniated discs day after day with just naproxen.

I agree. When you have a job to do and people depend on you, you sometimes put yourself second.

That shouldn't be compared however to the kind of people who are addicted and homeless.
