That is easy to say... but there are still chronic pain cases where people do not even have a diagnosis of what is wrong. There are blood disorders for which the recommended treatment is still bleeding the patient. Chemotherapy is basically poisoning people and hoping they survive but the cancer does not. All of these things will hopefully one day seem barbaric and we will have better answers. But we are absolutely not on the verge of having all the answers.
