It's one thing to tell someone generally to 'man up' but would you say the same thing to someone in crisis on a psych ward? Although as I've said, I wouldn't expect the nurse to cover up on my account, I do think obvious self-harm scars are different to scars from an accident. Scars tell a story, and the two examples tell very different ones.
