It all happened in a moment, within the blink of an eye. The accident was as brutal as it can get, straight out of a movie. But it took me 10 seconds to speak. In those 10 seconds I found myself staring at a twisted arm with bone broken into multiple pieces. The only thing holding it together was the bleeding skin. In school I had learned that on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the pain that will kill you, 7 is the pain you feel when your bones break and 9 is the pain felt by a woman delivering her baby. I couldn't help but think somewhere in the world someone was in even greater pain. Then I saw the leg, I could see the broken bone, it was not encapsulated by the skin, it was out, protruded and it was scary, but still a 7 right? Or is it a 14?
