[Albion Wilde]

...industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt....the richest man in America at the time...lived and died a painful death b/c scar tissue had formed on a procedure....and back then there was nothing to help him.

And Benjamin Franklin, arguably the most famous person in the Western world for decades, had to stand on his head to pee because of kidney stones. It was the only way to dislodge them from blocking the ureters.
