@dr_cellini Perhaps we could all benefit from a better understanding of why we might experience ongoing pain despite a normal CT? A scan isn't a treatment so symptoms recur. Modern pain science could offer an alternate approach for some people in chronic pain.

"There is a conflict between an idea of a clinical encounter that is measurable, reproducible and open to professional regulation of standards, and an alchemy that combines the experience of two humans in an unrepeatable moment that changes both of them."

@KennethLPearce This was serendipitous. I have just added this quote to a piece I was writing. An extension of "there are more things on heaven and earth..." Thanks for sharing.

@KennethLPearce @d08890 Unless that coin flip process is an essential part of what makes you you, in which case it might make you more free, in that you are acting in accordance with your true nature. I suppose it depends on what your definition of "free" is... and your definition of "me"...

@chrisschuringa What's the alternative to mind-body dualism?

Consciousness doesn't exist? The world doesn't exist? Or mind & body are identical?

Who thinks thoughts & actions are the same thing? It'd be mayhem!

Plus you can't hit love with a hammer. Why does everyone have it in for Rene?

This fantastic TEDx talk is the homework from episode 23. I would recommend watching before listening to episode 24 which is out today! Actually, I would recommend watching it regardless - It's great!

Understanding the mechanisms that produce pain gives us the knowledge that something can be done. Knowing that something can be done may provide hope; and hope, along with faith and love, should not be underestimated in their role in human health.

In this second episode on pain, we further explore the neuroscience and philosophy behind pain production, and introduce the concept of neural networks and neuroplasticity, which may provide us with new ways of addressing chronic pain.

Dr Schubiner heavily influenced my approach to chronic pain. He was even kind enough to meet with me last year. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about his fantastic work, including Q&A with the team behind the film https://t.co/gRFHpdne9n

It's been a long time since I released an episode of the podcast. It’s certainly been a challenging year, and I'm sure that many of you, like me, have had your plans somewhat derailed. But today the sun is shining, and the next episode is finally here!
