Description:The Texas pharmacist was not yet 32 when he was snatched from a brilliant career and glamorous social life to be hustled off to the Marine Hospital at Carville, LA. Here he was confined behind barbed wire, deprived of his vote, forbidden a telephone or the right to ride on common carriers. His crime? Mysteriously infected with Hansen’s bacillus he was one of several thousand Americans suffering from leprosy – an ancient affliction but still a contemporary problem in the U.S. Within months of his arrival at Carville Stanley Stein (an alias chosen t protect his family from the superstitious stigma that ignorance had perpetuated through the ages) [] had founded a newspaper to fight for the right of his fellow patients to be treated as humans. That he became totally blind six years later interrupted his career only briefly. Hansen’s disease victims who today enjoy a normal life owe much to the efforts of one man – Stanley Stein. Alone No Longer is not only the exciting and moving life story of Stanley Stein; it sums up the problems of millions of leprosy victims the world over, particularly those at Carville, the only hospital in the continental U.S. devoted exclusively to treatment of the disease. The book also pleads for better medical knowledge to fight the malady, and more social understanding for its victims. Lawrence G. Blochman, well-known author who was Stein’s collaborator, adds a postscript to this edition detailing the dramatic developments since Stanley Stein’s death in 1967.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
