Proper surgical anaesthesia isn’t a matter of reducing pain generally. No pain – or not enough pain to be taken seriously – taken too far as a policy, tends to result in ignoring the underlying problem, letting it get worse. Instead, it’s about managing predictable pain from some problem that’s already being actively dealt with, preventing the patient from flailing around in agony or having a heart attack or otherwise making the situation even worse.

I’m confused. “He was a little older”. Does Binky age backwards?
Not in like “he was older back then”, but “in our relationship, he was the older, more experienced person, but I was the smarter one”
Oh, duh, right that makes sense.
I guess I hadn’t considered those two lines as comparative, because read like that the “I was a little smarter” quip seems so unnecessary and petty.
