Jonathan McMurray was in a serious car accident and suffered a severe brain injury heading back to Acadia University in 1995. He spent a week in a coma, and came back knowing nothing, his life had been erased completely — except all of the music he had ever heard. Jonathan joins the fellas to walk them through his experience of post-traumatic amnesia and what his process was in forming new memories of who he was, who he is, and who he will become. *Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN"

Dr. Chris Honey, an accomplished neurosurgeon at Vancouver General Hospital, weaves his personal journey together with case studies that reflect the thrill of scientific discovery and the limitations of medicine. Operating on a terminally ill child amid an Ebola outbreak in Liberia, he questions his preconceptions about what it means to "win" against a disease and how an unusual friendship with a former patient alters his perspective on clinical detachment, and what "quality of life" really means. The Tenth Nerve is available as an e-book, audio book, and hardcover https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/688025/the-tenth-nerve-by-dr-chris-honey/9781039001190
