Notes:
When the problem is pain, think of prescribing a measured dose of psychiatry. Pain is the virtual reality of medicine. It is virtual because pain is elusive to quantification or characterization. The consternation of pain is similar to the delight of aesthetics. For as beauty is in the mind of the beholder, pain is in the mind of the sufferer.
