About This Book
medicinenatural-philosophy
James Esdaile performed painless surgeries in India during an era when medical doctors believed patients should feel every cut. This book records his struggle to prove that mesmerism is a legitimate, life-saving tool rather than a parlor trick. Readers will uncover a history of institutional arrogance and the clinical evidence that challenged it.
