<p>Meet the doctors, scientists, patients and campaigners tackling the</p><p>world’s worst diseases</p><p>We often hear about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry – from</p><p>extortionate pricing to the opioid epidemic. But there’s another story to be</p><p>told.</p><p>Through the story of eight revolutionary treatments, Dr William Pao cuts to</p><p>the innovative heart of medical science and celebrates the tireless work of</p><p>those fighting for better care. Behind each of these medicines – whether a</p><p>potentially life-saving new treatment for cancer, or something as</p><p>commonplace as paracetamol – there stands a cast of characters and a</p><p>wealth of stories.</p><p>The trajectory from the laboratory to the local chemist is rarely a straight line.</p><p>Eureka moments are few are far between. Drug hunting demands leaps of</p><p>imagination and lateral thinking, the accumulation of the knowledge and</p><p>expertise of many, and – nearly always – a hefty dollop of luck.</p><p>Breakthrough documents these journeys and grants a privileged look at the</p><p>stories behind the medicines that improve – and very often save – our lives.</p>

The Song of Our Scars The Untold Story of Pain

₹419.30 M.R.P.:₹ 599.00 You Save: ₹179.70  (30.00% OFF)
<p>In The Song of Our Scars, physician Haider Warraich offers a bold re-examination of the nature of pain not as a simple physical sensation, but as a social and cultural experience. Warraich, who himself has lived with chronic pain, considers the ways in which our notions of pain have been shaped, not just by science but by politics and power, race and gender, by whose suffering has mattered and whose hasn’t. He weaves a provocative history that carries us from medieval prohibitions on pain relief during childbirth to racist theories of pain tolerance to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and the twenty-first centuries. He reveals that pain often carried a spiritual dimension, erased by modern biomedicine. Today, he writes, patients with chronic pain not only suffer with no end in sight, but are stigmatized and delegitimized by the health system. The conclusion is clear: Only by reckoning with pain’s complicated history alongside its intricate biology can we truly begin to alleviate suffering.</p><p>The Song of Our Scars is an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.</p><div><br></div>
