Curate, connect, and discover
One of my biggest fears is that I’m gonna end up in the ED and a doctor, nurse or whoever will ask me “what is your pain on a scale of 1 to 10?”
HOW AM I MEANT TO ANSWER??? Like what is ten supposed to feel like?? Oh, 10 is a broken leg? Well I’ve never broken my leg before so how about you break it so I know what 10 feels like!
Oh 10 is the literal feeling of death? Let me just choke on this stress ball you gave me so I know what that feels like!
Do I get to call a friend first? Can I use my lifeline? “Pass, next question”???
Like, I could be in unimaginable pain but my anxieties worse so how about you give me 20 minutes to think my answer over so I know it’s as accurate as possible?
