(w)healthy Neurology: Concussions, Trauma & the Truth About Recovery

Concussions affect hundreds of thousands of Canadians every year, yet many remain misunderstood or overlooked. In this episode, host Shauna Nyrose speaks with Dr. Wayne Lai, neurologist and sleep medicine specialist, and Gerome Louie, a clinician specializing in concussion care. Together, they unpack what happens in the brain during injury, how sleep and mental health play a role in recovery, and what we all need to know about the lasting impact of concussions. Whether you’re recovering yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insight and clarity.

TESTIMONIALS
Making a Difference
“The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is essential for helping clinicians to deliver the best care for patients. Strong collaborations between clinicians, hospital administrators, patients, and community leaders are important to ensure that people who need the most complex medical care can stay local in Kelowna.”
Dr. Michael Tso
MD Ph.D., Neurosurgeon
"Supporting people and innovation leads to results. We have seen major advances in the scope and quality of neurological care at our site by attracting and supporting people who build & innovate. Support from the community allows us to go beyond what we need today and drive care further.”
Dr. Daryl Wile
Neurologist at KGH
"At my core is a deep-seated belief in the power of people driven by purpose, and the strength we have as a collective. It is this belief that fuels my desire to catalyze transformative change—not just for my organization, but for the entire community. Each day, I have the privilege of supporting extraordinary individuals who dream big, ignite hope, and courageously drive forward change, together."
Allison Young
CEO KGH Foundation
“In Canada, I think we take our health care for granted. We don’t have a clue what anything costs. But every appointment and procedure has a price tag. We have always contributed to the hospital in a small way. However, after my emergency heart surgery and hospital stay, it seemed even more important. We want to contribute to the ongoing excellence of treatment and care at KGH.”
