It's pain you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, lets alone our veterans. But now soldiers enduring treatment for severe burns are being offered a high-tech way of fighting the pain. University of Washington researcher Hunter Hoffman has developed a cool virtual reality game that has actually been shown to make the excruciating rehabilitation fun. Paul Simon's music from the album "Graceland" is played during the game.
