There's no emotion in text or little anyway and some people I think are more focused on their surroundings or body language, beside text (sight) is the fastest input into the brain.

And this is another point, GP's dont do a saliva test to see how high our cortisol/adrenaline levels are so someone in a high stressed situation wont feel pain like someone who is relaxed so then if the GP/paramedic asks the question of "1-10 10 being most painful how painful is something?", they have failed by not measuring the circulating levels of cortisol and adrenaline which is masking the pain level the brain is trying to convey to the GP.

Put another way, you go to the dentist and have a filling, the dentist injects whatever to numb the pain but some patients need more than they amount/kg. Why is this? Do they have a healthy liver which metabolises the drug faster, better blood circulation, higher levels of bilirubin or high levels of manganese which improves the nervous system?

So many variables to factor into a single or double ml shot of painkiller!

I was talking about spoken sentences. Yes, I design sentences for use in important conversations, and I have no idea if that is weird or not. :)

But yes, great point on body language. My saying 9 calmly through gritted teeth was received differently from my gesticulated comment on waves of pain..
