I have a new New Year’s resolution: don’t talk about pain.

As a physician, my terror in seeing my patients "out in the wild" is that I forget their names! Then, the humiliation of trying to introduce them to my wife. In the office, everyone has a chart, and I imagine your physician has over 1000 patients. I really like 95% of my patients but if you randomly put one of them in front of me, my brain freezes.

I thought about this! For crying out loud, I don't have 1,000 patients and I can never remember anyone's name either!
