Life interrupted, care reimagined
An injury ended Troy Hudnall’s career as a large-animal veterinarian, but it didn’t end the pain. CBS Sunday Morning follows Troy as he searches for answers at the WashU Medicine Pain Center, showing what chronic pain does to a life and why precision medicine is critical to treating it.
What Troy finds is care for the whole person: a multi-disciplinary team of experts working together to determine what comes next in his recovery.
Meanwhile, researchers in anesthesiology and neurosurgery are developing a wearable, noninvasive device. It’s early, but it’s a source of real hope for people living with chronic pain.
