In this powerful episode, Rory Pendergast sits down with Dr. Roger Kasendorf, a board-certified pain management specialist, to break down one of the most misunderstood issues in personal injury law: chronic pain. They dive deep into the invisible toll it takes on the body, mind, and legal cases—from how pain spreads beyond the initial injury to why denial and stigma can make recovery even harder.
