Nine million Americans are touched by aneurysms during their lifetimes. This is one story of love. Brainstorm is the candid and powerful memoir of the author's harrowing experience of an aneurysm and his road to recovery. It is a journey of love and devotion and a clash of medical beliefs and countercultures. The fierce resolve of the author and his wife is extraordinary, inspiring, and matched only by the tremendous competence and care of the medical system--one to which the author initially stood in opposition but that he later learned to admire and respect.
This audiobook is for anyone who has experienced the fear and difficulties of a major illness. The themes, truths, and above all compassion this book shares will be familiar not just to the nine million Americans affected by aneurysms but to anyone whose family has been touched by a medical trauma.
Filled with raw emotion, Brainstorm affords quiet but powerful support to those suffering similar circumstances and strives to tell them they are not alone.
