Locked In, Locked Out
Can there be life after a brainstem stroke? The answer is a resounding yes!
Living proof is Dr. Shawn Jennings, author of Locked In Locked Out. In 1999, Dr. Shawn, a busy family physician, suffered a brainstem stroke that left him a living person in a dead body, unable to move, speak, smile or feed himself... He did the only thing he could. With only two functional fingers, he wrote a book. Locked In Locked Out has enjoyed its third printing since August 28, 2002, and is flying off the shelves.
This book has given hope and comfort to other stroke victims and their families, and is an important tool for medical practitioners and caregivers, particularly heart specialists, interns, nurses, nursing students and physiotherapists. Dr. Shawn has taken his PowerPoint presentation to venues in Canada and the United States. He maintains a busy schedule and says he is joyous to be alive
