@DocPriyamMD @MedLearnHub And, respectfully Dr. Bordoloi, for those who are non-medical professionals/individuals who live with pain and are researchers, educators, and advocates. Pain is a sensation and an experience. While nociception is necessary for pain, pain is an enactive experience.

@colin_alex35207 You are incredibly talented, Colin. I’m amazed at your abilities in the various mediums. My wife is the artist in our family; I’m a civil engineer technologist so a bit more of a linear thinker. All my drawings were done with AutoCAD 😀.
