Chronic Pain: (A Character Study of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) Mr. Hyde comes out when Dr. Jekyll can no longer stand it. When the nuances of pain can no longer be procrastinated, The good doctor ingests the serum of surrender and leaves the back door open to his susceptible subconscious, where his alter-ego, the maniac Mr. Hyde, slinks in like a black cat, and there from the shadows, Mr. Hyde calls the shots… Whereas Jekyll is a man of science – passionate with postulation, romantic with reason… Hyde is a monster by treason, a pessimist of the human condition, a tyrant obsessed with zero-sum fixes… …. The good Dr. Jekyll’s objections be damned What crazed Mr. Hyde will get what he wants, Whenever pain drives the good Dr. to the serum The monster Hyde takes over, and find everything justifiable. M.

where his alter-ego, the maniac Mr. Hyde, slinks in like a black cat,
and there from the shadows, Mr. Hyde calls the shots… […]
