2-question mini-survey: pain & fear thereof
@Jssra
a: zero-ish.
b: "I would really rather not do that" starts at 4.
6-7 is my level for "the thought of experiencing that pain for more than a short time is sufficient to cause substantial anxiety".
That is also my level for "I actively and immediately demand something to manage the pain because this isn't okay."
FWIW when I was in the hospital the staff thought I was underreporting my number given my affect.
