S1E27 | Mark Browne - Crushing Life after Being Crushed

My New Normal

Mark Browne is an adaptive athlete, playing Wheelchair Rugby for the San Diego team. Prior to being adaptive, Mark is a member of the border patrol in Arizona when a horrifying accident left him injured and losing blood. He was life flighted because of the severity of the situation Mark was in and according to the rescuers, it was minutes before life or death. Mark was in a coma for 4 days after the incident.

On this episode, Mark was graceful enough to share his accident that left him with a brain injury which affected his speech and movement and how his road to recovery looked like. We talked about some of these topics:

• How the nurses saved his life and being life flighted
• Experiencing double vision because of the injury
• What is Mark's daily routine exercise
• Mark's adaptive wheelchair rugby
• What was it like surviving a coma
• How Mark's sense of humor helped him with his recovery
