Dr. Paul Wilson Brand bol inovatívnym chirurgom, ktorý zasvätil svoj život liečbe lepry a skúmaniu bolesti. Ako priekopník v chirurgii ruky vyvinul nové techniky na liečbu pacientov s leprou a ako prvý pochopil, že hlavnou príčinou zranení nie je rozklad tkaniva, ale strata citlivosti bolesti. Jeho práca a publikácie zásadne prispeli k pochopeniu mechaniky ruky a k liečbe zranení spôsobených stratou vnímania bolesti. Okrem svojej lekárskej kariéry napísal aj autobiografické knihy, v ktorých sa zamýšľal nad hodnotou bolesti a svojím životným poslaním.
An internationally renowned surgeon and an award-winning writer of faith take readers on a tour of wonder through the human body - from the micro-view of cells to the macro-view of our connectedness as people made in God's image.
A WORLD WITHOUT PAIN? Can such a place exist? It not only can---it does. But it's no utopia. It's a colony for leprosy patients: a world where people literally feel no pain, and reap horrifying consequences. His work with leprosy patients in India and the United States convinced Dr. Paul Brand that pain truly is one of God's great gifts to us. In this inspiring story of his fifty-year career as a healer, Dr. Brand probes the mystery of pain and reveals its importance. As an indicator that lets us know something is wrong, pain has a value that becomes clearest in its absence. The Gift of Pain looks at what pain is and why we need it. Together, the renowned surgeon and award-winning writer Philip Yancey shed fresh light on a gift that none of us want and none of us can do without.
An exploration of the human body - a remarkable world of cells, systems, and chemistry that bears the impress of a still deeper, unseen reality.
