Him saying 9 out of 10 amazes me. What is his standard for 10 out of 10 pain

[@alexbogotac]

I mean, I do that (obviously not on that scale) when i'm in pain - say that I'm in less pain that I actually am just because I'm a guy and try to, in a way, act tough. I don't know why I do that, and I'm not doing that do impress anyone. I guess it's because as male we're supposed to be and act tougher than females and hide our actual feelings.

[@rhassan3212]

10/10 would make him feel worse. It'd make him realise he is in max pain. He did say 9 because it really is hurting him a lott, not 10 because he still is conscious to experience it. Asian guys are mentally pretty strong - esp Chinese and Taiwanese. I once saw an aged (65+) Chinese guy walk into a hospital all by himself after suffering a heart attack. He had even injured his head due to a fall from the attack. I hope this ^ guy is doing better now.

[@alexbogotac]

@@rhassan3212 "Asian guys are mentally pretty strong" .... what? Strong mentality doesn't come from a race, it comes with practice and persistence. Generalizing a whole male Asian popularity as a "mentally strong" is just wrong.

[@rhassan3212]

@@alexbogotac The practice and persistence you are talking about is pretty much built into the lifestyles of a large part of that population. By "Asian" I meant the continent of which China, Taiwan, and Japan are a part. Not necessarily the entire race. These guys may not look big with 20" arms (tall neither) but have sheer mental strength.

Welcome to coding into resus or with a complex critical unjury. These teams are incredible. I went into shock and arrived to ER. I was placed in an acute bed as a category too- life threatening. I had a crash cart an a doc and two nurses with me. Within a minute Then my heart rate and blood pressure tanked and they coded me and rolled me into a trauma room (spent fourteen hours there and then into ICU) and holy God. About ten people with other people outside making notes and getting meds. It was so overwhelming but these teams are incredible. Reassuring me, holding my hand, gentle touches. Standing over me tellinge I'm safe as they pushed fluids into me. These teams are incredible and I owe them my life, as does so many other people. I have no words to explain how grateful I am.

He only felt the pain after the incident. Not even close to the same but i smashed a bottle into a wall trying to open it once and I cut my finger open quite deep (near the palm, the index one), and I cut off a nerve. I knew i shouldnt panic soo I calmed down went to a random house and asked for help, they wrapped my hand. Didnt feel any pain and didnt call an ambulance just sat there thinking if i should call my mom or go to family doctor first. the only pain i felt is later when they dissinfected the wound and felt discomfort when they were stiching it (like someone would be pinching the wound) really unpleasant. My finger still gets "shocked" when i hit the scar on something hard.

the most pain I ever felt was when I was jumping on some concrete "boxes" when I was 13 and I missed the jump and hit the middle of my shin on the corner of the concrete box, it was so strong that it sank a part of my shin, luckily I didn't need surgery, just some care at home, but I remember well that when that happened I couldn't breathe in so much pain, I couldn't scream or cry, my vision was blurred, and when I started to be able to speak and breathe properly I started to vomit in pain. I hope I never feel anything like this again, if it happened with a hard hit on the shin, I don't even want to imagine what I would look like with my hand practically amputated.

"most if not all of the major scientist in our history were devout christians" Thats not exactly true, but yes there were many great scientist that was also christian, but considering in those places at that time the only game in town was basicly christianity, therefore you only had two choice, be a christian, or get killed, bringing that up as at least disingenious. Btw nowdays, when (in the west at least) religion cant opress basicly everyone as it pelases, the majority of scientist are atheist, and for a good reason.

Because they had called in ahead of arrival they were able to assemble their trauma team (generally at least 15min before patient arrives, if able) which would consist of ED, ICU, specialist staff, radiologists, etc. In this time they all discuss their roles and focus', with medications pre-drawn up, etc. This is a well established hospital in a big city in Aus.

I don't know... I think it's still important to have a professional explain what's going on.

[@rhassan3212]

Regardless of what he knows, it's a Doctor/Surgeon's responsibility to make him fully aware of the current situation and post-operative risks. It's best to assume nothing. In some cases it's required for the patient or the accompanying guardian (if any) to acknowledge it on paper. Doctors do that even when the patient is another Doctor as well. That way things are legally sorted should the surgery throw in some surprise.

[@myssixensen7516]

In instances of horrific injuries, a lot of the time people and animals can do things on and with things that look like lumps of hamburger (yay! Adrenaline!!!)
