My story

Hi all, hope everybody is well. Recently my story was featured in an article for the Victor Chang Research Institute website. The institute is a leading cardiac facility based in Sydney, Australia. I am fortunate to have been treated by the executive director, Jason Kovacic. Their team were amazing and I felt like I was in the best hands possible. I'm the one in the hospital bed given the devil horns sign...LOL.

Rawk, great news to hear that you should live a long and relatively normal life after your frightening experience.   

I am glad that Professor Kovacic told you you could start drumming again and that you had the mental courage to do so.  Emotionally, that must have taken a lot out of you.

You state:  "I've learned to trust the machine inside me to do its job. It took a while to get there as I sure came close to not being here.  But I’m here, with my family, my friends, and back to doing what I love.”

Just wonderful to hear your positive news and I hope you continue to do well.

You know you're wired when...

The meaning of personal computer is taken a step further.

Try to concentrate on how you’re able to be active again and feel normal, rather than on having a machine stuck in your body.
