We'd go around, we'd help the patients.
It was really more, thankfully, I was able to interact with patients at that point.
And I super lucked out because the position I had was in a brain injury unit.
Okay.
And I was starting to get that feeling of probably I'm not going to be able to deal with medical school, but I really think this brain thing is very, very cool.
And one of the patients that I met really was sort of my light bulb moment.
He had come in, it was a sort of a long-term care facility to help people rehabilitate after brain injury.
And he had been in a motorcycle accident.
In fact, for most of the time I knew him, I thought he was a quadriplegic.
So I would have the fun job of, you know, getting him sort of
outside for some fresh air and be his conversation partner.
And he was in a chair that was very clearly for a quadriplegic.
And then, you know, a few months later, all of a sudden he's in a very different chair and I see him moving the chair by himself with one of his fingers.
And in our conversations, I learned that he was doing physical therapy and he was recovering function.
And at night, he told me that, you know, yeah, I'm going to PT every day, but you know what I do that's really cool?
At night when I'm trying to fall asleep, what I do is I exercise my brain.
And I was kind of like, what?
He said, I close my eyes and I visualize my hand moving that little lever on my wheelchair.
I'm exercising that pathway over and over again.
And that type of mental exercise he felt was really, really helpful to him so that it made it faster for him to be able to actually do that.
