Letters: Rate where it is?
Rate your life
To determine a proper medical treatment, you may be asked, “On a scale of 1 to 10, where is your pain?” With this information the doctor is better able to help.
Where is my pain on a scale of 1 to 10? I think I need a special map for that one.
Let's assume the writer meant to say "On a scale of 1 to 10, how much pain are you in?" I still don't think I've ever had a doctor say this to me. Besides, if I were there on Level-1 pain, I would hope they'd kick me out of the office and call me a pussy.

I believe so.
What do I need to be smoking to follow this?
