      Did the OS update on my MacBook last night and now its shagged. It decided to go back in time with an old screen saver and files, couldn't connect to the net or open anything. Tried a few resets but now it keeps trying to start but then crashes.

      Off to an Apple 'Expert' next week.

          don't know what the hell I ate yesterday but I contracted some funky stomach bug and woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain.

                    self righteous and dismissive id say. perception is reality. you were in excruciating pain. who is hey to say otherwise.

                    i know a guy who got shot and didnt feel much pain. bullet is still there. too close to the heart to remove. through his arm and rib cage. into his chest cavity.

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      I routinely see people self-reporting pain as 10, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain you can imagine.  I see that as a failure of imagination.

                        what if its the worst they've ever felt or been in?

                          indeed. my gut pain lastnight was enough to wake me from a deep sleep and it came outta nowhere. However, I went to the dentist this past Monday for a cleaning and that was mildly painful – uncomfortable would be more appropriate. There's nothing like having a dental hygenist poke and prod your gums for an hour. good times

                            Didn't mean to in,anyway, belittle what you went through. Just sharing the memory,that got jogged, of what a doctor once told me. He was really old school zero bedside manor.

                              I think @Matty123 was saying that the doctor you visited was being dismissive to you. It certainly sounds like it

                                correct ^ i dont think you did at all. docs bedside manner was the issue i would say.

                                  Turned out the hard rive was ok and the update just didn't go to plan. All sorted with the update and I got him to put a new screen on it too.

                                  Time machine is on the cards now.

                                    ^ that’s a win. My hard drive packed up a couple of years ago in similar circumstances. The thing is it had been corrupt for some time without showing signs, so lots of my Time Machine back up was equally fekked. Took an age to sort out.

                                      Was it a usual HDD or an SSD? I've found the former to be way more reliable although being slower and noisy.

                                        Meh…

                                        I think people over qualify things too much, so I side with the doctor.

                                        10 would be "totally unbearable, pass out from the shock of the pain".

                                        I think I've never felt above a 5, MAYBE a 6. Unfortunately, when I gives an honest 5 rating, the doctors think "He's fine", and send me home because everyone else over exaggerates

                                        In search of:
                                        IHV-04, med.

                                            Exactly.  So when someone strolls in to the doctor's office, busily texting away, then says their pain is a nine, I'm thinking they haven't really put much thought into what the most pain imaginable is.
