The neurologist who tested nerve pain on himself
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Nothing screams "dedication to the job" like deliberately slicing your own radial nerve. Dissatisfied with his patients' vague descriptions of nerve pain, British neurologist Henry Head had a surgeon cut his arm open just so he could spend four years stabbing himself with pins and logging the exact sensation of a regenerating nerve. Your boss asking you to work on a Sunday suddenly doesn't sound so bad.
One discovery leads to another.
