some of the patients in the Sonoma State study were put through painful procedures like the pneumoencelphalogram, in which air is injected into the brain before a series of X-rays.

'Imagine puncturing someone�s spinal cord, drawing fluid out and putting a foreign substance in there. Gas,' says Karen. 'When they trap air in your body, you�re in pain, excruciating pain, for days.'
