Course Description
12 NAB/NCERS Credit Hours.
In 1996, 37-year-old neuroanatomist Taylor experienced a massive stroke that erased her abilities to walk, talk, do mathematics, read, or remember details. Her remarkable story details her slow recovery of those abilities (and the cultivation of new ones) and recounts exactly what happened with her brain. Read proficiently by the author, this is a fascinating memoir of the brain's remarkable resiliency and of one woman's determination to regain her faculties and recount her experience for the benefit of others. Taylor repeatedly describes her "stroke of insight"-a tremendous gratitude for, and connection with, the cells of her body and of every living thing-and says that although she is fully recovered, she is not the same driven, type-A scientist that she was before the stroke. Her holistic approach to healing will be valuable to stroke survivors and their caregivers, who can pick up suggestions from Taylor's moving accounts of how her mother faithfully loved her back to life.
Objectives: 1. Understand and gain knowledge of the anatomy and function of the brain. 2. Hear from the perspective of a stroke victim what happens and how it feels to experience a major hemorrhage. 3. Examine through a chronological documentation the recovery process of a brain scientist who completely recovered from a severe brain hemmorhage. 4. Acquire knowledge of the functions and anatomy of the right and left hemisphere and how they work together. 5. Recognize the warning signs and symptoms of a stoke. 6. Understand and list ways how the loss of the left hemisphere can affect those who have had a stroke. 7. Ascertain and improve skills in caring for those who are recovering from a stroke, including over fifty tips and recommendations for recovery. 8. Recognize the value of the brain in relationship to individual personality and consciousness. 9. Discover what Dr. Bolte learned through her stroke about achieving a deep internal peace and well-being.
Materials included: the book "My Stroke of Insight", pre-test, post-test, and answer key.
