In this episode, we hear from our first Veteran, Doug Lanphier. Doug is originally from Oskaloosa, Iowa and comes to us today from Memphis, Missouri.  He comes from a military family and joined the Air Force in 1981. While serving in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, he suffered a traumatic brain injury from a scud missile fragment.  Doug shares his extensive experiences throughout his service, how his injury changed his life, and how he has suffered for more than 20 years with disabling headaches. He also explains his experience with the VA and how a chance phone call with a VA phone operator saved his life. Finally, he discusses why he thinks research is critical for the treatment of headache and how the VA has attempted to treat his headaches.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/p_pao2we3VbIfouCCkfD8FLE9x6-PaP9_YOL0Ep_00k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzY4MjEvMTU5NDA0/MzUwOS1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
