Pain (BBC radio)

Our Changing World (BBC documentary radio series)

From the battlefield to the hospital ward to the pain of losing a loved one: this BBC World Service documentary explores the physical and psychological aspects of pain.
FIRST HALF
BBC Iraq correspondent Andrew North takes a personal journey through pain. A few years ago, after reporting on the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Andrew became paralysed with a very painful, debilitating condition in which his immune system attacked the nerves across his body. Today, he has fully recovered. In this documentary, North looks at how power, or the lack of it, shapes an individual's experience of pain.

SECOND HALF
The BBC’s Andrew North explores the strategies we use to survive pain, from expressing through art, to suppressing it. He also looks at approaches to pain control.
