Years ago I posted a study on here that came to the “same” conclusion. Which is, when asked, black people believe they don’t receive equal pain management, despite no medical difference in diagnosis. The absurdity is unreal.
Ok, weird thought here. I doubt most people understand pain. Breaking a femur is considered the absolute worst pain to experience. Even Child Birth is below it. I've broken a femur, and had to slowly heal which meant dealing with a lot of pain. Because of that I have a higher pain threshold.
I know people who have experienced a 5/10 at best. Since this is the highest pain they have experienced, it is all they have to compare to. So it may be low in reality, to them that is a 10. It then transfers. A 3 is actually a 6 or even an 8.
A friend of mine had a botched brain operation and has opinions on pain meds. Definitely a high count. So pain relief for the friend is very different than others. An aspirin is for a 3-4, while a friend who has only experienced a 6 will think they need a delatin for their pain. Yes I know I misspelled it.
So getting the same prescription might not work because of all these people who think their 2 is an 8.
That's not so much a "weird thought" as a cornerstone of how maturation works. Kids think having to go to bed is the worst thing in the world because in their particular frame of reference, it is. They've never experienced anything worse. Not yet. Life is about gradually having increasingly bad things happen to you and becoming stronger because of it.
In other words, good times create weak men.
We are currently in the “weak men create hard times” phase
