Some people handle bad pain better than others and apparently, traumatic events can cause rifts in families.

This brother knew he could handle a fishing injury, but his brother preferred to pay for the privilege of a doctor instead.

Check out all of the details below!

Take You to the ER for something I can fix for free? Okay…

My Uncle Kyle got a hook stuck in his finger.

He refused to let my dad remove it and started screaming:

“TAKE ME INLAND, FIND A PAY PHONE AND CALL AN AMBULANCE!!”

There was no arguing with him.

So my dad drove him to the hospital.

Uncle Kyle came out with a bandage on his thumb and a scowl on his face.

Turns out they did exactly what my dad was going to do:

cut the spikes off the end of the hook and pull the thing out slowly.

But then a different kind of wound formed.

The only difference was that it cost my uncle Kyle $200 and an “I told you so” from my dad.

My dad said that after that, they never did any solo trips ever again.

Here’s what people are saying.

I think this would have made things worse, but I guess it depends on the family.

That would have cost a fortune and tied up resources that someone else may need.

Something tells me uncle wasn’t the Boy Scout type.

Is it an obligatory male bonding thing? I don’t get it.

This made me smile.

This brother was fishing for drama.

And he found it aplenty!
