In Scandinavia probably the most worker-supportive part of the planet, they have the highest rate of chronic pain and worker-related disability.

Scandinavians spend 15 percent of their gross national product on disability. 50 percent of the public health nurses are on disability. And that's where we're headed in the U.S. too.

And even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything.
