Reviews
"To paraphrase Virginia Woolf, considering how common pain is, it's strange that it hasn't "taken its place with love and battle and jealousy among the prime themes of literature". The Song of Our Scars goes a long way to remedying this. Essential reading for anyone hoping to understand what it means to be alive."-- Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish, "Pain is the most universal yet misunderstood aspect of what it means to be human. Dr. Warraich leverages his own intimate relationship with suffering and highly developed skills as a physician healer to pen a masterful book that will change your lens on mankind forever. The Song of Our Scars attacks the principal element of the human condition to be deciphered if we hope to mitigate the torment of societal scourges such as racism, poverty, chronic illness, and loneliness. The net result of Dr. Warraich's research and writing will, I believe, shorten the distance from our brains to our hearts and create a path toward healing and lasting empathy for one another."-- Dr. Wes Ely, author of Every Deep-Drawn Breath, " The Song of Our Scares is a brilliant deep dive into the emotional, physical, and metaphysical world of pain. The very personal and ultimately hopeful book, takes us on a remarkable journey, across the millennia and deep into the brain and consciousness. It also offers an unsparing look at how the cure (for chronic pain) became the disease. Dr. Haider Warraich has written The Emperor of All Maladies for pain."-- Dr. Jonathan Reiner, author of Heart, "In this insightful and humane book about pain, suffering and survival, Warraich once again braids history and personal history to confront questions both ancient and contemporary. It is a marvelous read."-- Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies, "Pain is both a universal experience and one that is deeply connected to class, gender, race, and power--truths that the opioid epidemic and declining life expectancy have made tragically apparent. In The Song of Our Scars , Warraich explores how the medical community's approach to pain went off the rails and makes a passionate case for more holistic, person-centered treatment. Beautifully written and deeply humane, this is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the roots of the opioid crisis."-- Beth Macy, author of Dopesick, "A wonderful exploration of the chronic pain conundrum--past and present--in all of its varied dimensions: biomedical, psychological, social, and economic. Warraich is truly a gifted storyteller."-- Dr. Damon Tweedy, author of Black Man in a White Coat
Synopsis
A doctor's personal and unsparing account of how modern medicine's failure to understand pain has made care less effective In The Song of Our Scars , physician Haider Warraich offers a bold reexamination of the nature of pain, not as a simple physical sensation, but as a cultural experience. Warraich, himself a sufferer of chronic pain, considers the ways our notions of pain have been shaped not just by science but by politics and power, by whose suffering mattered and whose didn't. 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. Trenchant and deeply felt, The Song of Our Scars isan indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.
