Advil Launches “Believe My Pain” campaign about “racial inequality” in pain management

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.

how do I avoid that

In general quite easily, the femur is the hardest bone in your body since it has to literally carry most of your mass almost all the time. If you are in a situation where it can be broken either you fucked up a while ago or someone else is about to cause you a significant injury. Either way it's probably too late to avoid happening.
