Itchy

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Excellent New Yorker essay about itch (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/06/30/080630fa_fact_gawande?currentPage=all). A warning - one patient is described pretty graphically. Another warning - I am all itchy after reading it.

It also delves very interestingly into phantom limb sensation and cures for it.

Very interesting piece. I'm only part way into it, but really enjoying it.

How the fvck do you scratch through your skull!

Awesome article though. The brain really is a fascinating thing.
