“To have great pain is to have certainty; to hear about pain is to have doubt.”
including post-polio syndrome and fibromyalgia, is exceedingly common—and it nearly always alienates patients, deepens their suffering, and impedes treatment. Until researchers can find the biomarkers that might certify long Covid as a “real” disease, the best clinicians can do is listen to testimony and treat symptoms.
This familiar debate ground on. As far as I can tell, no one on any side—and I disagreed with both the socialist and the libertarian—ever budged. But perhaps that's because we kept missing a truth in front of our faces: that we were all dismissing as somehow less than real the pain of others while elevating our own, and that of our confreres, as hard fact.
You can see why this renders futile the well-intentioned empathy-building exercise in which students listen while classmates share trying personal experiences. Before we even think of empathizing with others—an advanced psychological operation—we have to confront a deeper problem: We don't even believe them. Paradoxically, the more insistent or dramatic an account of suffering is, the more likely listeners are to fear that they're being manipulated.
