Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:And on a scale of 1 to 10, what's the worst pain that you've ever experienced in your life?
Speaker A:Kidney stone.
Speaker A:Broken bones, Had a kid.
Speaker A:Somebody polled 5,000Americans and over half of us say that we've experienced probably about an 8 before.
Speaker A:17% say they've never dealt with severe pain.
Speaker A:Lucky them.
Speaker A:And severe defined as 6 out of 10 or higher.
Speaker A:Now, most of the painless crowd were younger folks, so that kind of makes sense.
Speaker A:12% of us say 6 is the worst pain we've ever felt.
Speaker A:8% said 7, 25% said 8.
Speaker A:That was defined as very severe.
Speaker A:10% said 9 and 24% said 10.
Speaker A:So 59% of us say 8 or higher.
Speaker A:55% of men and 63% of women.
Speaker A:And I expected women to be higher, but I expected women to be more higher than that.
Speaker A:I thought the divide would be bigger with the whole, you know, childbirth thing.
Speaker A:Most everyone claimed to have at least an average pain tolerance.
Speaker A:About half of us said higher, very high.
Speaker A:And only 12% admitted that they had a very low tolerance tolerance for pain.
Speaker A:Either way, 24% of us say that we've experienced a 10 on the pain scale before.
Speaker A:I think that we can all agree we've experienced a 10 on the pain scale before based on these things that are clearly a 10 on the pain scale.
