• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  In the United States, it is estimated that 1 in 50 people have an unruptured brain aneurysm (~6M people). Every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures. Unfortunately, nearly half of ruptured aneurysms are fatal. Those who survive this medical emergency often experience lifelong debilitating challenges, which may be invisible to the human eye. A pharmacist colleague shares her story of survival after experiencing this devastating life event - a ruptured brain aneurysm and a severe subarachnoid hemorrhage. According to her world-renowned neurosurgery team, she beat the odds. She uses her preserved gift of speech for patient advocacy and brain aneurysm awareness.
