    Brain injuries can cause a complete ‘flip’ of our lives.

    Our abilities change – whether they are physical, cognitive, or even emotional - and they become our ‘new normal’.

    Today’s guest shares his extraordinary experience. A ‘flip’ from being a doctor working in intensive care and organ donation to someone now living with a brain injury.

    Dr Bruce Powell talks about his doctor-to-patient experience - and the reasons it has led to his strong advocacy for more and targeted support for brain injury survivors.
