Pain and social ability....

About what it does to the patient? About how to be with a pain patient? Pain and social identify.... Alienation caused by being misunderstood and misjudged. By being suspected. The depth of this in the culture. The political nature of pain control The consequences of being a dependent/supplicant The consequences of being unable The effect of social understandings of pain on the pain sufferer This is very much related to treatment agreements and treatment by the medical community in general.
