Andrea Buchanan on the Winter That Changed Her Life

Midday on WNYC | Apr 16, 2018

One cold morning in March, best-selling author Andrea Buchanan woke up to a coughing fit that changed her life. What started as a harmless cough lead to a tear that caused cerebrospinal fluid to leak into her brain, inducing months of intense pain and cognitive impairment. Buchanan details her recovery in The Beginning of Everything: The Year I Lost My Mind and Found Myself.

This segment is guest hosted by Alison Stewart.
