Science was never my favorite subject back in high school,but as we were compiling the content plan for this issue,it became apparent that it's a recurring theme this month.First up,our cover story is all about pain.In the first half of the feature(p50),Betty Richardson takes a look at the Chinese attitude towards opioids,and how OxyContin,a prescription painkiller that was used'non-medically'by 1.7 million Americans in 2015,is making its way into China.Meanwhile,four doctors and proponents of non-invasive,conservative and alternative treatments speak to me about how physical therapy,osteopathy,chiropractic and TCM can alleviate chronic pain.
