About the episode

We look at how our culture's massive effort to address pain has paradoxically increased it. And we follow one young girl as she struggles through a bizarre and extreme treatment program. NOTE: The treatment in this episode is administered by trained professionals in a hospital setting (and should not be implemented without medical supervision).Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
