He weaves a provocative history from the Renaissance, when pain transformed into a medical issue, through the racial legacy of pain tolerance, to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, to the cutting edge of present-day pain science. The conclusion is clear: only by reckoning with both pain's complicated history and its biology can today's doctors adequately treat their patients' suffering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrenchant and deeply felt, \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Our Scars \u003c\/i\u003eis an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHaider Warraich\u003c\/b\u003e is a doctor at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the VA Boston Healthcare System.
