THE LITTLE BOY WHO CAN'T FEEL PAIN... DOCTORS BAFFLED BY HIS RARE COMPLAINT.. Doctors are baffled about the case of eight year old Richard Russell Mains, of Hastings Road, Pembury, Kent.. For Richard is completely insensible to pain... He has burned himself severely and has had many falls resulting in dozens of bruises - but has never felt anything - his sense of touch is dead. His parents have to watch his every moment in case he should hurt himself - and know nothing about it, Medical authorities know of only four other people like Richard in the world - his is an extremely rare complaint so rare that it has not even got a name..
