251: Chronic Pain in Trek

Aliza and Sue welcome Heather Rae Barker for a deep dive into how chronic pain shows up in Star Trek. Frequent pain-related questions like "Do the Borg feel pain?" and "Why does Geordi refuse pain relief for his visor?" are explored, before revisiting the DS9 episode "Melora" and finding modern day parallels to accessibility and the burdens of adaptability.
