How to survive and thrive from a life threatening head injury: With Matt Masson and Mike Nolan

In this episode we interview Matt Masson ex-extreme sports and
ski instructor. In November 2011 Matt sustained a life changing
head injury when he fell 26 ft through a plastic roof onto his
head. He has had to re-build his life completely from re-learning
to talk, to walk, to ski amongst many other things. Matt's
inspirational story is a true testament to his mental
determination, engagement with rehabilitation and timely
pre-hospital care.

We re-unite him with Mike Nolan  the Flight Paramedic on the
night (a friend and colleague) who walks him through his injury
load, the sequential interventions and his initial presentation
on the night. Matt is just about to release his first book
together with his Mother titled 'Road to the top of the
mountain'. Please enjoy this truly inspirational story told in
first person.


Our thanks also goes out to the Nurse liaison team at the Royal
London Hospital that initially put both Mike and Matt in contact.
