About pain and its remnants

     Did you ever heard about John J. Bonica? Or maybe you know him by his wrestler name Johnny "Bull" Walker. You should know about him, as he is the guy that practically invented the pain relief, as we know today. He was a professional wrestler in summer holiday, and a doctor and a healer, for the other part of his life. He was one of the first that has claimed that pain is the most complex human experience. That it involves your past life, your current life, your interactions, your family. He invented anesthesiology. Later, he'd even go on to help develop the epidural, for delivering mothers. He influenced all the pioneers who developed the modern basis for pain management. And much more. This is one of the unknown heroes, whose names should be always remembered.
