Monkey Business

<p>Nobody wants pain -at least most of us-. We want a life without pain. We suppress pain with painkillers injections or more violent</p><p>methods. But pain often returns worse than before. Worldwide millions of people suffer from chronic pain. Despite</p><p>our medical insights and advanced treatments we seem powerless in effectively relieve pain for everyone. What are</p><p>we doing wrong?</p><p>Vincent Hoogstad and Jan-Paul van Wingerden have half a century of combined experience in treating pain in humans and animals. In</p><p>this book they question the tales on pain that we humans create. We are not the only ones in pain. Most -maybe all- animals</p><p>experience pain. Animals have no medication surgeon or psychologist to ease their pain. How do animals cope with their</p><p>pain? Could we learn something from them? Comparing pain in humans and other animals brings new</p><p>refreshing insights which help us approach pain more effectively.</p><p>This is not a self-management book.</p><p>It does not promise instant pain relief.</p><p>A different tale on pain from hard scientific evidence.</p><p>Approach to pain in a different way.</p>
