Episode description

What happens when your brain is a literal ticking time bomb and nobody tells you until it goes off? Meet Martin. At 16, he was just a normal kid until a rare brain malformation (AVM) ruptured, sending him into a month-long coma where he "tripped balls" to a Lil Wayne soundtrack provided by the ICU staff. But the rupture was only the beginning. After a grueling months long recovery he got hit with a second rupture, a brain infection, and devestating complications he was left with "Sunken Bone Flap Syndrome". A condition where atmospheric pressure literally pushed his scalp into his brain. It’s a story about hitting rock bottom multiple times and finding the "gains" every single time you climb back out.
