It’s a handy tool that allows communication between caretaker and patient – despite age, language, or emotional barriers. Nevertheless, I’m not sure this is complete enough to cover the full range of pain levels one might feel. So I’ve designed a brand new Faces Pain Rating Scale, and I’m pretty sure hospitals across the world will be adopting this immediately:
