When he wakes up and is healing, he is not really in a position to be critical of how Lúthien went about saving his life. What she did worked, and if he is critical, he is going to come across to the audience as ungrateful and maybe even a bit petty.
But also remember that he just woke up after a confrontation with two elvish warriors who were condescending towards him. That would be the main thing on his mind. And Luthien is an elf after all, so he would be naturally oversensitive to anything she could say or do and which could be misinterpreted as expressing doubt in his capability to handle the quest just because he happens to be a human - whether she meant it this way or not.
