  1. Pain is a Problem in medicine.
    Literally, people have different scales for pain. You say it’s 5, I say it’s 8, and we’re both experiencing the same pain. This is actually rather normal for self-report anything, but with pain, it’s often your only way to diagnose.

    And that’s because the medical research into pain has been handicapped. (I also assert without any special research today that it is more susceptible to placebo effect).Report

    1. No only that, but since the Feds regulate the market, they keep a close eye on people and doctors, so much so that doctors are very wary.

      And let’s not forget big pharma’s role is creating this whole mess.Report
