This is a very good piece about how a war injury has affected one soldier. It's pretty amazing how touching the piece is without trying, and how informative it is without narration. It is simply a well-mixed and very well-interviewed story told by the soldier and his doctor. Because of the flawless mixing and engaging voices, it does not feel as long as it is, and it leaves the listener pondering the subject long after it ends.
This is a very informative piece produced without a narrator. It is well produced, with interviewees leading into each other very well.
I was amazed by some of the information in this piece... how the brain heals, dumb "replacement" cells, the comparison to Jello. Amazing. It doesn't even cover HOW the brain and the cells can "remember" information, and I'm still impressed.
It's a sad story that hopefully will turn out for the best. It's weird how medicine can have this effect: we are so good at saving lives, that people are living with strange new disablilities.
