Kevin Windbanks of Essex Maryland sent shock-waves through the medical establishment on Monday evening. As a patient at St. Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, MD, when asked by a physician what his level of pain on a scale of 1 to 10 was, Windbanks replied "a 3". This occurred even though Windbanks had been receiving doses of morphine for his pain throughout his stay. "In 50 years we've never heard a patient in that situation give a rating of less than a 9," explained a St. Mercy Hospital administrator. Incredible!
