Listers, A subject has recently entered my personal awareness (experientially, unfortunately) and I'm wondering if there is anyone working on the difficult problem of effective communication and effective reception of the communication of pain. I have the book, The Body in Pain, which tackles the problem, but my personal experience has been that neither that book, nor the simple 1-10 pain scale used at hospitals is accurate. I think it is a problem of qualitative induction for which analogy may be useful. Is anyone working on this? If so, I'd like to share thoughts on this subject.
Regards, Phyllis Chiasson
