“The only truly intersting side of the matter was the intimate design of the injury, the fact that it was so penetrating, custom-made exactly to your measure. It's fascinating that hatred should be so personal as to be almost loving.

“Well, I am a great believer in supercompensation. Short term overtraining leads to long-term success. I can hear the complaints about injuries, but, in truth, not too many of us suffer injuries that lead to surgery, according to those studies in the 1950′s. In fact, if you are not a druggie and have some common sense, I think you can afford to train harder than you think.” IfsThinkingWellsLongI CanFactsSufferingTermCommonStudyHarderTrainBelieverCommon SenseLong TermInjurySurgeryComplaintsWorkoutShort TermMotivational WorkoutLong Term SuccessDruggies Author:Dan John

“Many years before when I had serious back pain from a sports injury, the surgeons said they would explore my spine and "figure it out." Out of frustration I had impulsively opted for the procedure. They ended up fusing the vertebrae. It left me debilitated. In hindsight, I blamed myself more than the surgeons. I had pressed them for a solution when in fact none was apparent because the cause of the pain was obscure.” YearsSaidFactsPainLeftCausesSportsFiguresSeriousSolutionsTherapyInjuryFrustrationObscureProceduresSurgeonsSpineHindsightBack Pain Author:Jerome Groopman
“In fact, on one occasion, a rather pedantic experimental psychologist was telling him about a long, complicated experiment he had done, incorporating all the proper controls and using considerable technical virtuosity. When he saw Crick's exasperated expression he said, "but Dr. Crick, we have got it right - we know it's right," Crick's response was, "The point is not whether it's right. The point is: does it even matter whether its right or wrong?"” KnowsLongDoeSaidMatterDoneFactsPainSawsExpressionResponseComplicatedExperimentsOccasionsTherapyInjuryDrsPsychologistIncorporatingPedanticVirtuosity Author:Vilayanur S.

“Even the clearest localization of pain in one area may, in fact, be originating from a distant area .... The reference of pain implies the existence of convergence of inputs within the spinal cord. This leads to the necessary involvement in central neural circuits in the simplest of peripheral disorders. It also leads to the possibility that the basic disorder is entirely central.” MayFactsPainExistencePossibilityAreasTherapyInjuryDisorderSimplestInvolvementInputCircuitsCordsConvergenceSpinal Cord Author:Patrick David Wall
“There is a groan that unites men and women, rich and poor, in any nation.
