Making the Pain Chart more.. real

I must admit, I’ve never been a major fan of the traditional pain score chart.

You know the ones I’m talking about? We use them mostly on children (actually I’ve never used them on anyone other than children) to try and understand their level of pain.

Now that I think about it, I’m not really quite sure that they’re the best way to determine what a child’s pain is at, either…

“Look over here at the chart, Madeline… MADELINE – LOOK AT THE CHART please…”

but I digress..

This week I stumbled across a brilliant reinterpretation of the pain score chart, as described by Allie of Hyperbole and a Half.

Check out the full story & second half of the New Improved! pain chart by visiting Boyfriend doesn’t have ebola. Probably. You could also click on the picture below if you would rather do that. I’m all about options here…

    I normally dont have time to surf the net {Im a nursing student} but when I have a few minutes to relax, I enjoy the content of your website.

    Hyperbole and a half is an awesome site, because Allie Brosh is mad cap. {I’ve actually considered buying the tee-shirt with this chart on the back.} On the “Hyperbole” site you find links to other funny websites, one of which is just briliant. {at least, I think so}

    I’ve no idea if you know who David Thorne is, but he is so hilarious. I believe he is, also, Australian. http://www.27bslash6.com/overdue.html
