On a scale of 1 to 10...

... how would you rate your pain level, 0 being no pain, 10 being the worst pain you've ever endured?

thats one of the questions we have to ask patients when we take their vitals.

i just scalded my right hand with microwaved boiling water and now im using my left hand to type. its painful as hell, you have no idea!!! try it, then u'll know. :P but on second thought, you really shouldn't. unless you're masochist.

and u won't believe this, last week whilst i sprained 2 of my fingers whilst trying to eat a pecan roll. -__-" yepp. go figure. either that pecan roll was hard as a rock or i'm just a clutz.

i wish i were a full time blogger because i have so much to write for the past week yet not enough time to finish my homework. its gonna be another insane few days to follow, until tuesday, before i can get a breather. wish me luck. :)

am finally done with Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, but now i have an overdued Hamlet assignment to complete, and a presentation to prepare for. and uh. more stuff. but i'll save you the pain. :/ andddd... on a side note, i think doctors and aspiring doctors are mad - they see a wound and go 'oh gosh its so exciting' instead of 'omg that's terrible it must hurt like hell for that person'. to them its always "the grosser it gets the better"!! and i think i'm catching the plague as well. -.-" Happy Sunday peeps! Word of advice for the week: don't scald your hand especially in this scorching hot weather.

haha I'll never forget this pain scale thing. When I brought meng to the hospital, he was asked to rate the pain. It was sooo hard to judge coz you just don't know the difference between say 7 and 8. I think he said 7. But the nurse put 10 on it. Dono why... So we thought maybe that'll make him get to the doctor faster. hahaha! but it didnt. =(
