April 1, 2008
In light of Superintendent Terry Noble’s recent ills, I thought it would be fitting to put out this list of the 7 pains you shouldn’t ignore from WebMD.

Whoever coined the term “necessary evil” might have been thinking of pain. No one wants it, yet its the bodys way of getting your attention when something is wrong. Youre probably sufficiently in tune with your body to know when the pain is just a bother, perhaps the result of moving furniture a day or two before or eating that third enchilada. Its when pain might signal something more serious that the internal dialogue begins:
“OK, this isnt something to fool around with.”
“But I cant miss my meeting.”
“And how many meetings will you miss if you land in the hospital?”
“Ill give it one more day.”
Etc.
You need a guide. WebMD consulted doctors in cardiology, internal medicine, geriatrics, and psychiatry so youll understand which pains you must not ignore — and why. And, of course, if in doubt, get medical attention.
