Laughter is the Best Medicine: Hilarious and Unexpected Things Seen in Hospitals
New and Improved Pain Scale
Anyone who’s been to a doctor’s office knows about the standard pain scale, but this one is far more entertaining. The “Improved Pain Scale” creatively describes ten levels of pain, starting with level one, which could be as mild as an itch, and going up to level ten, which indicates unconsciousness.
Some of the standout descriptions include level five, featuring a person frantically reacting to bees, and level nine, which whimsically suggests the pain feels like being mauled by a bear or ninjas. Pain scales are essential for assessing patient discomfort, and adding humor can make the experience more bearable.
