Hummm, don’t really see this as funny. Too many nights in ER, maybe?
Kind of agree Nora, The number of pts that think saying 10 gets them more faster is too numerous to count. Especially when they are sitting there eating their chips and drinking a soda!!!
I love it when a patient has a room full of company just chatting away, and the nurse asks if they are in pain, “yes”. The pain level? “10″. Amazing. If I was a level 10 I think I would be huddled in the bed and may snap at anyone who speaks to me!
People that rate their pain a 10 while conversing and chatting and laughing with friends and family drive me nuts. They don’t have clue! A 10 is just having had your knee replaced with NO femoral block and your leg is in a CPM not adjusted correctly for short people – now that’s a 10!!
The pain scale is the biggest waste of time. The family helping with hair and make-up, really?? got a hot date right after this? I would save a 9-10 for body parts torn off or chemical burns such as lye.
when I hit the ER and asked 1 to 10, I don’t know what to say; since I have worked oncology and hospice and seen a lot of pain. My never seems to compare to my previous patients.
