When the Alarm Won't Stop
A telephone rings at 2 a.m., and your stomach drops. Walking into that delivery room, you see a scene that strips away all pretense-a woman screaming, her partner frozen in terror, a midwife hovering anxiously. Pain, in these moments, is the great equalizer. It doesn't care about your bank account, your education, or your plans. It simply demands attention. Then comes the epidural, and within minutes, transformation: the screaming woman becomes conversational, almost serene. This isn't magic-it's the peculiar nature of pain itself. Pain sits at the intersection of body and mind in ways that still confound us. We've sent humans to the moon, sequenced the genome, yet we remain humbled by this most fundamental experience. More people suffer from chronic pain than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined. Yet we treat it with a curious mix of pharmaceutical hope and medical hubris, often making things worse. Understanding pain means understanding ourselves-our biology, our psychology, our contradictions.
