Steve Shives made a video pondering which Trek character suffered the most.
PNQ: Opinions? Traditionally we're supposed to say O'Brien, but he also makes a case for Kirk, Picard, Pike, Rok-Tank, Harry, and Worf. It really depends on how you define "suffer". Are we considering physical or mental anguish? Are we considering the in-the-moment pain only or considering all of the fallout and recovery as well? Are we treating each instance as of equal suffering, or are we grading considering intensity or duration? Upon thinking of it, I would put Picard's assimilation at the top. Physical and mental anguish during the assimilation itself, plus the torture of watching the battle of Wolf 359, plus the recovery. As he said in "Family", he fought back with everything he had and it wasn't enough. If we're considering the character with the most continual back-of-the-mind simmering torture, you could certainly argue Worf. Most intense, prolonged physical suffering? Probably Harry during his Species 8472 infection.
