It stuck with me as well, read that book 20+, almost 30+ years ago, in I think 6th grade…
But conversely, despite having been in many situations in my life where I have been in extreme pain, at a hospital/clinic, I’ve never had or been given morphine or oxy or anything like that.
Docs/Nurses just don’t believe me, I guess because I am not screaming and flailing and moaning… because I have a higher than normal pain tolerance… they just give me acetometaphen.
Sorry to hear that…
