Ow! You get hurt then you put on a bandaid. But at the end of the day, how would you take it off? Would it be super fast or super slow? This is important because in a critical life situation when you are in cruciating pain, you would not know what to do. You should listen to me because I have experienced a situation like this before. I will talk about what you should do in this situation, the evidence, and my experience.

First off, you have a bandage and you don't know what way you should rip it off. Would you rip it off quickly or slowly? I believe that the correct way is to pull it off quickly because you will only experience one to two seconds of pain. But, if you pulled it off slowly you would experience 10 seconds of pain and would have said, “oh damn this hurts''. When you pull it off quickly, the pain will be shorter. You do it slower, the pain will be more excruciating.

Now I will show the evidence to support my answer. An article from MJA said that they recorded pain scores of the people who pulled a bandaid off quickly and the people who did it slowly (Furyk et al., 2009). The results were that the overall mean pain score was 0.92 for the people who quickly pulled it. The other result said that the overall mean pain score was 1.58 for a slow bandage removal. I think you just need to breathe like 5 times and just rip it. This means that quicker bandage removal equals less pain.

Finally, I will talk about my experience of ripping a bandaid off my skin. 2 years ago, I got a bad cut on my leg. Since I had to take a shower, I had to take the bandaid off. I started ripping it off slowly and it started to get more painful as it went on. It was a horrible experience and took me close to 5 minutes to take it off. A year later, I got a shot and decided this time I was going to take it off quickly. I hesitated a little bit but I decided that I will just do it and only losers won't do this. I took 2 deep breaths and ripped it off and exhaled. In the end, I was surprised about how short the pain was.

All in all, I think explaining what you do in this situation, the evidence, and the experience should help you in the future. To be honest it doesn't really matter if you are weak or not. It matters about how much pain you want. If you want loads of pain take it off slowly. If you want a short quick amount of pain, take it off quickly. Now, you should tell your friends and family that taking a bandage off quickly will be a shorter and quicker amount of pain. Don't be too surprised if you say, “Ow!”, because it is common that you will feel some pain while doing this.

哦！你受傷了，然後你戴上繃帶。但在一天結束的時候，你會怎麼把它取下來？如果是超快還是超慢？這很重要，因為在危急的生活情況下，當您處於極度痛苦中時，您將不知道該怎麼做。你應該聽我的，因為我以前經歷過這樣的情況。我會談談你在這種情況下應該做什麼，證據和我的經驗。

首先，你有一個創可貼，但你不知道應該用什麼方法撕掉它。你會快速還是慢慢地撕掉它？我相信正確的方法是快速拔掉它，因為你只會經歷一到兩秒鐘的痛苦。但是，如果你慢慢地把它拉下來，你會經歷 10 秒的疼痛，並且會說，“哦，該死的，這很痛”。當你快速拔掉它時，疼痛會更短。你做的慢一點，痛苦會更加難以忍受。

現在我將展示我的答案的證據。 MPA 的一篇文章說，他們記錄了快速拔出繃帶的人和緩慢拔出的人的疼痛評分。結果是，快速拔出的人的總體平均疼痛評分為 0.92。另一個結果表明，緩慢拆除繃帶的總體平均疼痛評分為 1.58。我認為你只需要呼吸 5 次，然後撕開它。這意味著更快的繃帶去除等於更少的疼痛。

最後，我將談談我撕開皮膚創可貼的經歷。 2年前，我的腿被嚴重割傷。因為我要洗澡，所以我不得不取下繃帶。我開始慢慢扯掉它，隨著它的進行，它開始變得更加痛苦。這是一次可怕的經歷，我花了將近 5 分鐘才把它取下來。一年後，我得到了一個鏡頭，並決定這次我要迅速把它取下來。我猶豫了一下，但我決定我會這樣做，只有失敗者不會這樣做。我深吸了兩口氣，把它撕下來然後呼出。最後，我對疼痛的短暫性感到驚訝。

總而言之，我認為解釋你在這種情況下所做的事情、證據和經驗應該會對你未來有所幫助。老實說，你是否弱並不重要。重要的是你想要多少痛苦。如果您想要大量疼痛，請慢慢消除。如果您想要短暫的快速疼痛，請迅速將其取下。現在，您應該告訴您的朋友和家人，快速使用創可貼將是一種更短且更快的疼痛。如果您說“哦！”，請不要太驚訝，因為這樣做時您會感到有些疼痛是很常見的。
