Dr. John Becker and Patient in “The Hippocratic Oath”

So, how are you feeling?

Good. But that's the problem. I read this article about people who can't feel pain, and I've been feeling fine lately. So, that got me thinking: what if I'm one of those people? I mean, I could be in excruciating pain right now and not even know it.

Walter, that condition's called hyposensitivity, and I seriously doubt if you have it.

Well, I'd like to know for sure. Isn't there some kind of test you can run?
