Throughout history, humanity has been captivated by heroes overcoming immense challenges—from ancient legends to modern Marvel icons.

In this episode, Dr Travis Brown and Steve Davis are honoured to have Janine Watson, a Paralympian athlete who reached out to us after our episodes on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) (Episode 53 and Episode 54) opened her eyes to the unrecognised trauma her brain and body have endured.

This is the story of Janine Watson’s journey from MS diagnosis to history making Paralympian. And how listening to a particular episode of This Medical Life changed her future.

Our special guest:

Paralympian, Janine Watson.
