Cutting the Pain
Synopsis
In March 2002 an IDF tank ran over an explosive device in Gaza. Three soldiers were killed. Matan Berman, the dog handler that accompanied the unit became shell-shocked following this tragic event. A few weeks later he started to complain of horrendous pain in his leg, not triggered by any physical injury, which was subsequently diagnosed as CRPS, a mysterious pain syndrome. The slightest touch now causes him pain that can only be contained with the use of large doses of Morphine.
