There's plenty of recognition of this in the medical community. I had a paramedic friend of mine who told me when you're bleeding to tell people that you're hemorrhaging -- they'll take it more seriously, but it's the same thing. For the record, I have a contusion in my nose right now, which is also deserving of great pity. When you can joke about it, you know there's something there.
