I experienced a brain haemorrhage and survived

Prevent the Preventable Podcast

In this episode, Director of The Natalie Kate Moss Trust, Fiona Moss, sits down with special guest Suzy Lane, who opens up about her experience of having a brain haemorrhage.
Suzy is immensely courageous and honest in sharing her story with us about the day she experienced her initial ‘thunderclap headache’. She discusses the initial Dr’s call, the ambulance, the confusion about what had actually happened, the panic and the loneliness she felt in hospital and then the surgery that saved her life. She talks about her recovery, the challenges along the way but also the change in outlook she has experienced.
Suzy was so immensely lucky to have survived her brain haemorrhage so well and we are so grateful to be able to be speaking with her about her experience on this episode and thankful to her for helping us raise the profile or brain haemorrhages so that we can reduce the number of potentially preventable brain haemorrhage from happening.
Key Takeaways:
- How she felt whilst having the brain haemorrhage - the signs.
- What happened when she got to hospital - the treatment.
- How she dealt with the recovery.
- How her perspective has changed.
Special Thanks:
