A Question to Make Your Patients Think

Teaching a recent seminar in Santiago, one of the Spanish speaking participants said he liked to ask his patients a particular question. At first both the interpreter and I thought something was lost in translation, but we both heard correctly.

After a patient tells you about their pain, particularly the intensity, ask

Why isn't your pain worse?

I thought this was quite a poignant question that may make the right patient think about their pain and situation more globally rather than focusing on how "bad" their pain is right now. #stopthoughtviruses
