“Despite his injuries, Turner began giving first aid and pulled other soldiers to safety. As he worked, he was shot twice — one bullet breaking a bone in his arm. Yet Turner would say later that he felt almost no pain.” NPR on the connections between emotions and pain. This is interesting stuff. But don’t use it as an excuse not to sympathize with someone who’s suffering. If pain is all in your head, it’s because everything else is there too.
