[0:00]Tips from the ER, the pain scale. When you come to the ER, we are going to ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10. One being, I barely noticed it, and 10 being the worst pain you've ever felt in your entire life. Except, you and I can never agree on what a 10 actually looks like.Can we? That sprained ankle in 2019 that really hurt, I'd rate that a 5, maybe a 6. But for you, that was a 10.I understand, I just don't agree. My scale is a little different.I've seen what I believe a real 10 looks like. I've been in the room.Let's just say my bar is very high. Here's what a 10 actually looks like. A 10 is getting hit by a speeding car.A 10 is active labor with no epidural. A 10 is looking down and seeing something that should be inside of your body, very much on the outside of your body. If you walked in here, checked yourself in, found a seat and updated your Instagram story, you are not a 10. You might be a 6, you might even be a 7, and 7 is real, 7 gets attention. But when everyone is a 10, nobody is a 10. And that's when we miss the person who actually is. My pain is definitely a 10.
