Eh, nah. Theodore Roosevelt survived an attempted assassination on a way to a speech. He was shot in the chest, but decided to have his two hour speech first before seeking medical attention. When he moved west, a group of thieves stole his boat. He built his own boat, tracked them down himself for two weeks, captured them and walked them to the nearest town. Also, he's the only person to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor AND the Nobel Peace Prize (for his role as mediator during/after the Russo-Japanase War).
