Moving this research to hospitals (and elsewhere?) #2

Thank you very much Dr. Wager - this is very important research. Understanding pain and emotion is vital to improving the human living experience.

Your research shows that the way we manage our expectations about pain can influence the way we feel pain. Daniel Kahneman did an interesting study back in the 1990s about pain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak–end_rule), and the results directly effected the way hospitals deal with pain inducing procedures.

What kind of implications do you think your study has on the way we manage pain in hospitals (and our day to day life)?

Me & The Guv dislike hospital visits (except for certain routine... tests)
