TITLE: How do you deal with physical pain?
POST: On a holiday with my SO, 3 months ago, i got a severe ear infection in the middle of the night. So severe that it felt like knives were being jammed up my ear and wanted to visit a hospital a.s.a.p.

My girlfriend literally said i should calm the fuck down and we would visit a doctor in the morning... I couldn't take it after 2 hours and went to see a doctor in the middle of the night to get some serious painkillers and antibiotics. Which luckily solved my problems.

Afterwards my girlfriend "jokingly" said i was a bit of a pussy and should have waited till the morning cause i wasn't in life danger.
TL;DR: 
My SO called me a pussy for visiting the hospital in the middle of the night for threating a severe ear infection. Was she right? And how do you deal with pain?
