Algophobia – Trent Sawyer
Pain was not something that one should fear especially when the line of work they were in inevitably would mean pain of some sort or another, and especially when you were a medic of the infamous Bravo team. Trent did not fear pain when he was the one suffering from it but what he did fear with a rabid hatred was when he had to cause his brother's pain despite it being done so to help them, or when he was unable to help ease the agony that they felt even if they did not express it because Seals were conditioned not to show pain or fear.
Trent had lost count of how many times he had seen his brother's in some sort of pain that he could not fix immediately which was always a punch in the gut, or the number of times he had to cause them pain in order to help them like the times he had to set a broken bone or some sort of dislocation even with an injection of morphine in their thigh to help ease their agony. And Trent would do it all without fail or hesitation every single time because it was what kept his brother's alive until they could get the more intensive medical care that they often required but it did not mean that it did not leave a permanent mark, another wisp of self-hatred to begin to bubble beneath the surface, or the feeling of guilt to sink in once they were back on base or on the plane flying away from wherever they had landed, or at the makeshift infirmary or hospital, or at home.
The quiet still moments at home were when Trent found himself reflecting on whatever medical aid he had found himself rendering while on a mission and that almost always got to him, made him question what he could have done differently, if there had been a way to ease the pain that he had inflicted or be unable to soothe, and it was what drove him to know more and upskill so that he could be the best and his brother's did not have to go through the pain that their injuries often incurred.
Trent had a reputation as a medic who could be rough and abrasive at times but he had learned very early on in his time as a Tier One Operator that he needed to detach himself while in the field when he treated someone, brother or not, especially when it was a serious and life threatening injury because if he did not detach himself then he could not do what he needed too because it would be too much of a burden and too big of a weight to bare, and it took his focus aware from the job at hand. But it did not mean that he took any pleasure in causing anyone pain when he did so. The mere knowledge that he caused or added to someone's suffering took a tremendous toll on him, more than he cared to admit or even acknowledge.
So Trent did not fear his own pain but he feared causing others pain at his hands.
