And my research was at the IU School of Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine.

So that's where I focused on neuro.

And then from there, I went to Harvard Medical School and did two postdocs, one in neurobiology and then one in psychiatry.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, the day before that, I was teaching and performing research at Harvard Medical School.

And I'm a gross anatomist, which means cadaver, entire body, as well as histology, which is tissue, as well as neuro.

So I'm all about anatomy.

So I teach and performing research at Harvard Medical School.

And I woke up the next day, and I was experiencing a major hemorrhage in the left half of my brain.

So I woke up, I sat up, and I immediately had a pulsing pound behind my left eye.

And generally, I didn't have that.

And it was pretty severe.

And it got all of my attention.

And I have my before and after is before and after that morning.

Well, I thought, wow, that's weird.

And it's the caustic pain that you get when you bite into ice cream.

It's like that freeze brain.

And I thought, okay.

And I felt suddenly weak.
