I know somebody who calibrates their 10 from the time they fell off a cliff and broke their spine in several places.
After foot surgery, they rated their pain at a 7, and the nurses gave them some Tylenol and left. Pain got so bad that night they were about hallucinating without the proper medication. Nurses didn't take 7 seriously enough without context.

@violetmadder@kolektiva.social @aredridel@kolektiva.social So clinical staff don't understand without context either - meaning that when they ask for a number they don't always pay attention to it.
