Abstract: A new type of pain Never covered in a lecture Not neuropathic, visceral, post-procedural, cancer, phantom pains, But existential. She didn’t want pain meds And she had her reasons - We didn’t push. What she wanted was to talk To be heard For us to be silent and stop Asking her every second If she’d moved bowels, vomited, slept… What she wanted was to talk. What other medication is there for pain of the soul?
