    Maybe update the Wiki, you seem to know a lot about the condition.

    The language used is very mild.

      I wouldn’t change anything except the assumption in the overall medical field that infants can’t feel pain. I don’t know much more about this specific condition, but I have a different condition in which they assumed infants can’t feel pain, and they were wrong enough that I still have trauma from that.

      Take any medical knowledge from 20+ years ago that sounds horribly painful with a grain of salt, because that was the assumption relatively recently. Some doctors who learnt medicine more than 20 years ago still think that.

      e: Groundbreaking research in 2015 says babies do feel pain. 2015.
