The pain scale they all use is absolutely ridiculous. Asked for pain meds in the hospital, nurse asked what my pain level was. Hmm....surgery about 12 hours ago...open wounds, I’ll give it a 6.
She said she couldn’t give me IV drugs unless I said my pain level was 7 or higher. She asked what my pain level was and I told her 7. Got my shot.
Stupid.
“Stupid”
Yes, but at least the nurse was kind.
