Why can the brain focus on only one injury at a time?
I believe that the brain is not trying to focus on only one injury at a time, but rather make sense or put into perspective the many injuries it has to deal with. The brain can only sort out known information, and there are times when the sixth sense or the 'gut' is telling the brain, that something else is still injured, or wrong, or not right. If the brain does not know the full capacity of injuries, it becomes injured itself in the quest for discovery.
