Download The Worst of Evils: The Fight Against Pain AudioBook Free
This riveting audiobook takes the listener around the world and through the ages to discover how different cultures have looked for to beat and treat physical pain. With vibrant reviews and sometimes terrifying anecdotes, Dr. Thomas Dormandy represents a checkered development of breakthroughs, haphazard experiments, ignorant attitudes, and surprising innovations in human work to regulate pain. Attitudes toward pain and its perception have improved, as possess the means of pain relief and technological understanding. Dr. Dormandy offers a carefully fascinating, multicultural background that culminates with a discourse of today's successes - and failures - in the struggle against pain. The book's exploration is fused with accounts of the development of specific ways of pain relief, including the use of alcoholic beverages, plants, hypnosis, religious faith, stoic attitudes, local anesthesia, basic anesthesia, and modern analgesics. Dr. Dormandy also talks about the newest advances in pain clinics and palliative look after patients with terminal disease, as well as the potential customers for loosening pain's grip in the future.
