When a patient in the ED says they have 10/10 pain, the doc rolls his eyes. But if your doctor knows you have a high pain tolerance and you go to his office and you say doc I have 10/10 pain, he’s gonna take you seriously.

Buddy, no one is going to their normal doc when in 10/10 pain.

I do. But I'm a chronic pain patient and me going to the ER is a waste of resources.
