Strokecast

Last July, Mark French joined me on Strokecast to share his stroke story and talk about his new film, A Teachable Moment. It tells the stories of four Washington, DC, area stroke survivors as they navigate the new world of stroke recovery. Mark was one of the featured survivors, as was Anne Daily who I spoke with in Episode 14 about making the shift key her bitch. It also features doctors and fantastic animations that explain stroke in a simple and understandable way. The film is an hour long and available on Amazon Prime Video. You can learn more at http://ATeachableMoment.Film. Mark had his severe hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes in May of 2015 caused by AFib (or Atrial Fibrillation) and went on to make an amazing recovery. Four years to the day, in May of 2019, he suffered another stroke (or series of strokes). Sadly, this time he didn't make it. My heart goes out to the French family, the team at LAI Video (here's their tribute to Mark), and all the folks who made A Teachable Moment possible. Lessons I do
