Pain

it's amazing what we will do to escape it...

...pain, that is.

...we spend significant time in medicine trying to drown it out.

...we are even using it as a measure of how good your medical care was.  "Was your pain controlled?" we ask.

Not all pain is bad.

...sometimes it is a symptom...

of a problem

of a disease

of a hurt that goes to the deepest part of our soul

It doesn't always deserve to be smothered and buried.

...sometimes it deserves attention...

acknowledgement

diagnosis

treatment

healing
