The history of pain seems, at one level, so esoteric, but all this week I’ve been nursing a sick cat, hit by a car, who had to have one leg amputated and another leg is broken. His pain is real, and although alleviated by modern veterinary drugs, still obvious. There’s nothing esoteric about it (other, perhaps, than my poor attempts to translate his meows into English). All the advice I get is that pain slows down healing processes. I hadn’t though of pain, or treating pain, as having a history, and will look forward to reading your latest book.
