Patrick Wall's Pain: The Science Of Suffering

In the nonfiction book Pain: The Science of Suffering by Patrick Wall, he describes a variety of pain that can be found in the human body, and how this pain is caused. Patrick Wall is a professor of physiology at St. Thomas’s Hospital Medical School. He gives examples of patients that he has come in contact with while working and goes in depth about the pain that relates to those people. Wall goes into explicit detail about the body, which includes the nervous system, and he provides visuals for a better understanding of the text within the book.

Yes, many people try and find cures for that type of pain but those cures are only temporary. Some pain is permanent.
As you can see Wall is a highly educated physiologist, who goes into depth about varieties of pain and how humans react to the pain. Pain will always makes its way into people's lives whether we know it or not; the better we learn about it now and have a grasp on the idea of pain and how it affects us as an individual, the better we know what to do and how to handle it later for the
