Thank you Shivani! I very much agree with your first point - even as a third year med student, with very limited ward experience, the 'cynical doc' archetype was always more readily attributed by patients in grave pain than other patients on the wards. Perhaps its our limited understanding of pain management that leads to this? Or is our very long work loads that mean we often ignore the entity that is pain!? Thanks!
