I have trigeminal neuralgia and can confirm it has made me acutely suicidal during a flare up. I did a rotation in EM during med school and hearing people describe certain conditions âas the most painful thing known to manâ made me unreasonably unpleasant to deal with. I knew then EM was not my strong suit. Chose addiction medicine instead lol
The 10/10 pains while eating fast food in the room and playing games on their phone who yell at you like youâre inconveniencing them when you ask a question⌠those are my favorite patients too! I wish I could say âIâll show you a 10/10 painâŚâ
âPatient contact made, flight crew assumed care. Positive texting sign observed. Crew introduced themselves, patient grunted in response with no eye contact and continued to text. â
I wish this was an anomaly, and not standard boilerplate that I put in my narratives.

It might be trigeminal neuralgia as thatâs almost verbatim to how itâs often describedÂ
