About this work

Description

Frank Rowntree talks about pain. It can be considered to be a 'good thing' as it is a warning sign worth further investigation. The problem with 'pain' is that it is subjective. Rowntree says there is no merit to having 'a stiff upper lip'. He refers to the adoption of anaesthesia in childbirth - the removal of pain was considered to be sacreligous.
