  • Nope, the touchscreen was terrible. It would have been nearly a perfect device for the time. Phones were smaller, and it was a nice accessory for watching videos and playing games that were less convenient on a smaller phone with poor battery life, but… It barely registered touch inputs.

    Still salty about that waste of money. The forums were just full of people complaining about it and Google tried to fix it with software, but it just didn’t work right.



  • The absolute nature of the scale isn’t THAT important, yeah it gives you an idea of how the pain feels, but what’s more important is how the number changes over time.

    If a patient keeps saying “IT’S AN 11!!” for an hour and then now it’s a 9? Great, we’re moving in the right direction.

    If someone starts out saying it’s an 11 and suddenly it’s a 15? Well, what changed? Did some meds wear off? Did they shift and move something that increased the pain?

    Heck, 90% of the time if I get there and it’s an 11, then just 10 minutes later it’s suddenly a 6 cause they’ve calmed down now that help is there.
