Surviving and Thriving: A Stroke Victim's Inspiring Journey

Imagine being at the height of your career, and suddenly, life throws you a curveball. This is exactly what our guest, Ewan Ramsey, a 49-year-old business man, experienced. With his wife Liz ( a physiotherapist) by his side, Ewan (Puggy) opens up to Dr Gavin Nimon about his personal journey, the sudden onset of the stroke, the challenges he faced, and the lifestyle changes he had to adopt. Puggy's story is not just about survival, it's about resilience, determination, and an unyielding spirit to live life to the fullest, even in the face of adversity.From struggling with speech impairments to the distress it caused to his family, from enduring intensive tests and treatments to his remarkable progress, Puggy's journey to recovery is nothing short of inspiring. His story is a testament to the power of hope, positivity, and support networks, all of which played a crucial role in his recovery. Listen in as we explore not only Puggy's challenges and triumphs but also delve into the overlooked challenges faced by stroke survivors. We also look forward to the next part of our series where we will be joined by Dr. Michael Waters, an interventional neurologist, who will shed light on the diagnosis and treatment of acute strokes.Aussie Med Ed is sponsored by OPC Health, an Australian supplier of prosthetics, orthotics, clinic equipment, compression garments, and more.
