Ouchdammitometer
Description
Developed as an alternative to lying to patients about how much an injection or other procedure would be, the Ouchdammitometerprovides an objective measure of how much pain would be caused. Injections are measured in "huertz," although a clear baseline for this amount has not been given [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-08-06%7C2000-08-06]]].
