The Doctor That Can Actually Feel His Patients’ Pain

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Doctor That Can Actually Feel His Patients’ Pain
Published: December 25, 2022 by RHJ Producer

Mirror-touch synesthesia is a sensory processing disorder where a person can feel the sensations of another. As you can imagine, this condition can be an asset for certain people, like Dr. Joel Salinas. He’s a neurologist who can diagnose patients just by being able to feel their symptoms in his own body. He explains the condition and what it’s like living with his empathy on overdrive.
