Then, in the 1950s, a family doctor shipped out to a remote Scottish island to investigate an outbreak, and made a discovery that shaped our understanding of shingles.

Then Robert Johnson of the University of Bristol explains what he's learned about treating pain in his decades working with shingles patients.
