i don't know if this is passee but....i thought that the measure of pain was called the 5th vital sign. the medical profession is morally & ethically obligated to treat pain. that's why they came up with the 1 to 10 pain scale.

flipping off someone else's pain just isn't right, it's also bad medicine, IMHO.
