Brain Matters with Joanna Heatwole, Pt. 1

SmikleSpeaks by Joanne L. Smikle, PhD

Episode notes

As I have continued in this Brain Matters series I realized that I’ve talked to physicians, scientists, and researchers. But I’ve never had a conversation with a spouse, a caregiver, of someone who has a brain disease. In this episode Joanna Heatwole shares her ongoing journey with a husband who has a brain disease.
