Thanks for this, I can't wait to read this book. My girlfriend has severe chronic pain issues, so hopefully this can help her in some way.

It's funny you have the memory of Durant tearing his ACL as being stoic, my memory is him yelling 'F*CK!' at the top of his lungs as he was helped into the tunnel

The rat story sounds a bit misleading. If the rats that swam longer were given rest, food, and care, then it only makes sense that they were able to swim longer than rats who were given none of those things. Unless I'm misunderstanding the nature of how it actually was implemented...

Fascinating discussion!

As someone who lives with chronic pain, this gives me some real things to think about!
