Pain (2018)

Nicholas Gonzalez: Dr. Neil Melendez

Quotes 

• Dr. Neil Melendez : [running a test a paraplegic patient]  What happened?

  Hunter : Pain just shot right down through my legs.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Your legs?

  Hunter : Yeah. I haven't felt anything below my chest in ten years. What the hell is going on?

• Dr. Neil Melendez : It's very rare, but after many years with a bruised cord like yours that isn't severed, it can start to function again.

  Cora : So, this mass is causing Hunter's pain?

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Yes.

  Hunter : If the cord is healthy, why aren't I feeling more than pain?

  Dr. Neil Melendez : The mass is compressing the healthy cord, just letting the pain through. We still have to do some more advanced imaging to map the mass, but I am fairly confident that if we removed it, that could change. You may be able to walk again.
