Pain is a capricious disability studied by Harvard experts
Harvard physician Dr Henry K Beecher spoke at a Kansas University Medical Center course on anesthesiology and pain control detailing how pain varies by person and circumstance. He cited wartime observations at Anzio and Cocoanut Grove showing pain relief can come from mild sedation rather than morphine and noted anger and fears can block pain while music aids those under spinal anesthesia. He discussed methadons as morphine substitutes with fewer side effects and potential to aid addicts, and stressed a holistic aim to prepare a patient psychologically and pharmacologically before surgery.
