Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Gift of Painless Surgery It is well known that when an invention or discovery proves a brilliant success, many claimants to the honor appear, and in this case the abundant and weighty evidence in favor of the true discoverer seems to have been neutralized and obscured in the public mind by the activity of the friends of the introducer, who might well have rested content with his own impor. Tant share in the good work. The heat of controversy has passed away and the claimants themselves are gone. The evidence remains. It is to this rather than to extreme par tisan statements that the present generation should look in assigning the meed of gratitude and praise for this discovery, - a blessing to man only surpassed by Prometheus's of fire to miserable early men. The writer has examined with cane the containing the statements, and, more important, the evidence adduced in behalf of both the important claimants to the discovery, and without hesitation refers the readers to these, giving at the 'end of his own representation of the facts a list of the princi pal works issued by both sides during the years of the controversy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages—from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging—to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines—science, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art—Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear. Both a personal meditation and an intellectual exploration, The Pain Chronicles illuminates and makes sense of the all-too-human experience of pain—and confronts with extraordinary grace and empathy its peculiar traits, its harrowing effects, and its various antidotes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1846 William Thomas Green Morton (1819-1868) performed the first publicly-witnessed surgery to use ether as an anesthetic when he removed a neck tumor from a patient at Massacusetts General Hospital. News of the dramatic event quickly spread and Morton was erroneously credited with discovering the procedure. Few people at the time knew that Crawford W. Long (1815-1878), a physician from Danielsville, Georgia, was the true pioneer of this important medical advancement. In 1950 Frank Kells Boland published The First Anesthetic, tracing the history of Long's first discoveries and uses of anesthesia and calling for wider recognition of his achievements.
