Episode 207 - A Stroke Of Luck With Dr. Bevan Choate

After four intensive years of medical school, a grueling residency, and surgical specialization in urology, Bevan Choate was on top of his game as a full-fledged urologist. Then, on December 3rd of 2020, the music stopped for Bevan. At 36, he suffered a life-threatening stroke. After nearly dying twice, undergoing three brain surgeries, and months in the hospital, followed by endless rehab, he finally went home in February of 2021. During months of therapy, Bevan wrote The Stroke Artist, his book about recovering from a catastrophic brain injury, from the perspective of a young surgeon. But it’s more than that: Bevan’s book is not only about physical recovery: It’s about the things he learned about himself, his life, and the incredible gift of friends and family.
