Okay, I can buy the way they treat injuries as a bit justifiable. Except that they still feel pain. Unless wizards are impervious to pain (and we know they aren't), they are still getting all the pain from the injuries even if they heal them faster. So it doesn't quite make sense to me.

Exactly. There is scientific proof that pain/trauma physically and permanently alters the brain. "Do no harm" should be a morality even wizards can appreciate.

I would assume though - and correct me if I'm wrong - that pain that lasts a few minutes (the time it takes to flick a wand or down a potion) would alter the brain a whole lot less than pain that lasts for days, months, or even a lifetime.

I think it's interesting to consider the sort of impact that that difference might have on a society. God knows, even minor differences from one society to the next can have major consequences when it comes to the society's overall worldview.

Umm... and how is the brain changing a bad thing? Everything alters our brain. Food habits, emotions, growing up. I had a kid some time ago. There was pain. So? I also broke an ankle. There was pain. So? Sure I'd rather not have broken my ankle but since I did, I much preferred having my body give a realistic reaction than not.

It isn't. Never said it was. All I'm saying is that because wizards can feel pain, it makes no sense for them to be as reckless and careless with injury as they are. Pain means that the quick healing ability doesn't explain away the recklessness.

I think it does. Look at kids and young adults. it's not just a lack of foresight that makes them do all kinds of dangerous stuff, but also the fact that they don't take so long to heal. when I fell when I was little it hurt just as much as today, but the injury was over with whithin a week. Now when I fall the bruises stay longer, and muscles cramp up and can be a pain for a longer time, and more persistent.
It's not knowing about the pain that makes me be more cautious when running, climbing, biking, skiing, but the fact that I can easily get seriously injured, and end up spending half a year not being able to leave the house.
