Pain Scales

When you are sitting in the back of my ambulance and after I ask you three times to hang up your cell phone as you're laughing while you talk to your mom about the car wreck you were just in and I ask you about your pain and you rate it at 14 on a scale of 1 to 10, then you're full of shit.

From now on I’m going to give all of my patients Scalpel's Pain Scalel then I’ll use Nurse K’s method for pain evaluation.
