A funny and warped FACES pain scale

Published

I laughed when I read this:

Hyperbole and a Half: pain faces

FYI, a small amount of swearing involved.

Yes, this is from an old thread, but SO funny! Just had to give it a bump (or maybe shock it back to life? LOL)

I now have serious tears running down my face and now my stomach hurts from laughing. The pain rates a 2. Can I have my Dilaudid now? :p

Thank you, Thank you, Nurse Leigh for FINDING this gem! And thanks, of course, to the OP :)

Whenever I had someone who gave me a pain rating of 9 or 10 (while they were so insanely NOT) I would sometimes ask "Is the pain like a bullet being shot through your skull while someone is slicing off your right foot with a carving knife?" LOL...used to LOVE when the answer was "Yes" while they were texting and not listening to what I said....
