Living with Chronic Pain After a Life-Changing Accident with Tony Verhagen

Tony Verhagen



As a young man, today’s guest, Tony Verhagen, was hit by a drunk driver in a devastating car accident and determined to be dead at the scene. He was later revived but suffered multiple life-altering injuries.

Doctors told him he would never walk again. Against the odds—and after months of physical therapy—he learned to walk again. Yet the accident left him with chronic pain that he’s lived with ever since.

Tony’s story is one of resilience. In this episode, we talk about that fateful day, the long road of recovery, the challenges of living with chronic pain, and the choice to live a beautiful, full life through it all.

I look up to him and am so lucky to call him Uncle.
