As a physician, writer, researcher and policy maker, Dr. Haider Warraich wears many hats. He writes frequently for the New York Times and the Washington Post, and has more than 150 peer-reviewed research papers including multiple papers in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association. He has written the books Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life and State of the Heart: Exploring the History, Science and Future of Cardiac Disease. In his latest book, The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain, Dr. Warraich offers a bold reexamination of the nature of pain, not as a simple physical sensation, but as a cultural experience. He has appeared on CNN, Fox, CBS, PBS, and on NPR shows like Fresh Air with Terry Gross and The Diane Rehm Show to speak about his writings and research.
