A couple years back I took Don Mottin’s course in Emergency Pain
Management. As the title suggests, the class focused on the physical
aspects of pain and using hypnosis to make someone comfortable while
they wait for the paramedics to arrive or during those few days after an operation or serious injury. There was also lots of emphasis on working
with or through a physician, assuming that the students in the class were primarily lay hypnotists. It was interesting to get Dr. Eimer’s view on the emotional aspects that come into play with long-term chronic
pain.

Summer cold, eh? You’ve got all my sympathies. There’s been one in my
house for weeks now, jumping from one kid to another, and I’m sure it’s
plotting to grab me just in time for NGH. (Are you still on the fence
about that? What can I do to talk you into coming?)
