Blind physician sees pain in a different way
In the Bronx, Montefiore Medical Center’s 54-year-old blind clinical rehabilitation director Dr. Stanley Wainapel treats patients with arthritis and nerve pain while navigating a busy hospital and relying on aids like a cane and voice-activated computer. He studied acupuncture, treats Lyme complications, and uses his skill in physiatry to see up to 200 patients monthly.
