Letter: Individual pain

Published 26 July 2003

From Richard Townsend

At last a piece of research that points out what all non-scientists have known for years: the only reality is individual reality. The fact that some people feel more pain than others only confirms that what each of us experiences is our own individual reality and that there is nothing other than this (28 June, p 17).

There is a major area of research opening up that will link this with our individual reactions to treatments for diseases.
