Yes, rather emphatically, I think we should all take our and our employee's health a lot more seriously, and that extends to everyday jobs. The culture of "working/playing" through serious injuries/pain (often with aid of opiates) will always be a toxic construct to me. As much as he's an adult, these guys are imprinted upon from an early age that they should grin and bear it and are often expected to do so by those around them, as most young men are. It's bull####
