This is the first episode in a series of interviews with English speakers about their personal health experiences. They are designed to support your English language learning in the context of healthcare, especially your listening skills. In this episode I talk to Tim about his experience of 'post-concussion syndrome’. He talks us through what happened, and his main symptoms. We discuss how these symptoms affected his life both at the time of his accident and now. This demonstrates the wide-reaching effects of health not just on people’s bodies but the relationships, work life and self-esteem. Tim tells us about the different health professionals he received support from his recovery and we comment on the benefits of a multi-disciplinary approach. I recommend visiting the website of Headway, the brain injury association for more information on this topic at www.headway.org.uk Please note this is not a source of medical advice or intended for you to use to make medical decisions. The opinions expressed are entirely those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the UK health service or any other health organisations or charities.
