Sometimes it's just to gauge how things change over time.
If you said 5 when you came in, but 3 after an hour, then we can make decisions based on what happened between those times.
If you said 3 when you came in but now it's a 7, maybe there's some emergency that needs to be acted on now.
If you said 9, and that makes sense based on what is going on, you get some nice drugs for a bit.
Makes more sense. I think the ER only asked me once when I got there that time, but I wasn't there for long.
My more recent ER trip, they just gave me drugs (like codeine or something I think iirc) without asking if I was in pain or if I wanted any. Kinda disappointed cause I was ready to not lie that time and say 0-1 (mostly because it was visible obvious why I was there, so no worries about people thinking I'm just wasting there time).
