You have no idea what the peoples lives are like when they are not in your ER. They have lives and families just like you. Many people who have adhesions have suffered with these disease for so long that their pain tolerence is through the roof. As far as adhesions just being tissue without nerve endings...how about the organs and tissue that they are attached to and stretch? Do they not have nerve endings that can cause pain?
I hope you never end up in the ER and get treated like I am assuming you treat your patients...or maybe I do, then you will know how it feels.
