World Pain Congress
Sir,—l read your article in Reporter’s Diary about the World Pain Congress held in Hamburg. I thought it was very cruel of those 3000 researchers to attack men for not being able to tolerate pain. In the hospital I work in I think men cope extremely well considering they have never known what it is like to go through the process of bringing children into this world. Perhaps some of the millions of dollars spent in research, for example, in mental health, could be directed at helping both men and women to come to terms with pain. Then there will be no need for men to die in dentists’ chairs.—Yours, etc.,
ALISON ARMSTRONG. September 17, 1987.
