While I can’t say I’ve got the answer, after explaining what pain is for a few years (not telling how many!), there are some things I find work better than others… The first thing is to have a bunch of examples of everyday pain (mainly acute pain) to act as examples - mine include getting a flu jab, sunburn, a stubbed toe, sports bruises, and shark bites!  This helps people understand that pain is a normal, everyday experience that is unde...

Like most Americans, Goldilocks had concerns about achieving just the right amount of data liquidity for her personal health information (PHI). Until today Goldilocks felt between a rock and a hard place: "I want my PHI to be appropriately liquid — just the right viscosity. My PHI should be viscous enough to flow to my trusted health care providers to use to improve my health and health care. “Today my PHI is frozen and inaccessible — it’s too cold. “But I’m worried about the other extreme — the risks of using a personal health record (PHR).

It finds that while some people with diabetes in some parts of the country receive excellent care, many are still not benefiting from the effective delivery of diabetes services that the NSF set out to achieve.  This puts almost 1.9 million people with diabetes in England at increased risk of serious complications including heart disease, stroke and blindness.
