Jo and Jim Giordano
In this episode, Jim and Jo talk with Sameer Bhide. In 2017 Sameer suffered a rare hemorrhagic stroke in his cerebellum, underwent two brain surgeries, and spent a month in a medically induced coma. His entire life came crashing down, starting with a life-changing, debilitating stroke, the loss of work, and a divorce. He is the author of a newly released memoire titled "One Fine Day: Overcoming Adversity and Embracing the New Normal with Grace and Gratitude". The book describes the amazing story of his struggle to come back from the brink, with the help of a diverse community of friends and caretakers, as well as an integration of Western medicine with Eastern holistic care.
