Quinn Beasley & Skull Fracture and Brain Bleed

Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic. Today we are featuring our first injury of the podcast, and it is with circus performer Quinn Beasley. Back when both Quinn and I were performing street shows in Australia for the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Quinn had an accident during one of his shows. It was eventually discovered (after a series of discharges and readmissions!) that he had fractured his skull, had brain bleeding and facial nerve damage. 

In this episode Quinn talks us through the accident, the aftermath, what it’s like being in hospital in a foreign country, the long lasting effects of a brain injury, and what he’s taken away from this experience. 

I remember thinking this immediately after his accident and I certainly do after this interview as well: our brains are amazing, and it is so important that we look after them.
