History PlayingWith / MinorInjuryOverReaction

** Bob is having chest pains and a bleeding wound inside his mouth and erroneously assumes that they're symptoms of a ruptured lung.

* '''Inverted''': MajorInjuryUnderreaction

** Bob praises his attacker after the first hit, but his attacker ''keeps'' landing minor hits until Bob realizes he's being put to a DeathByAThousandCuts and freaks out about it.

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob takes several wounds in a fight, then breaks his nail. He gives a BigNo, lets out an earpiercing shriek, and collapses, writhing in pain, before passing out shortly afterward.

* '''Zig Zagged''':
** Bob gets a minor injury and acts as if it's much worse, except it turns out the injury really is more severe than it seems... wait, no it isn't, Bob was just messing around to fool his friends. And then Bob passes out, wait, the injury really was bad. But in reality it was something ''else'' that made him faint, so the injury is as minor as it first seemed...
