Ep 068 Dr Brooke Ellison, Quadriplegic, Stronger Than We Think We Are

Brooke Ellison, PhD, Associate Professor at Stony Brook University, is where she teaches and studies health policy and medical ethics. This is where she makes a living, but it is also the very same place that saved Brooke’s life. In September 1990, she was hit by a car while walking home from school while crossing a major highway nestled in the Long Island suburbs and, in that accident, suffered innumerable injuries that have affected her life in immeasurable ways. But as a fighter, her disability in no way compromises that. In fact, Brooke’s disability amplifies that.
