Title: Seeing Through A Cloud – A Long Journey Back To Living After A Brain Injury
Author: OGILVIE-LEE PAUL

Seeing Through a Cloud is the story of an active, young doctor about to specialise, but suddenly his life changed.
In seconds. The doctor became the patient.
This book tells the inspiring story of how Paul coped with all the changes and challenges he faced on his long journey of recovery following a severe brain injury. The doctors didn’t have much hope, but with the strength of his family, Paul worked on regaining his memory and, eventually, his life. He tells us of the strategies he used to help his memory in everyday circumstances.
The aim of the book is to help others in similar situations, to get their lives back and succeed in living, as Paul has done. Of course, we can all use these strategies to help our memory, but they are especially useful for anyone who has undergone trauma such as Paul suffered.
As a thirty-year-old qualified doctor, Paul has had to go from total incontinence, without any memory of his past or present life, back to a thinking, feeling adult.
It has been a very long journey.

\”Had Paul become a Professor of Neurosurgery, giving lectures on major brain injuries and teaching generations of medical students, then we would have learnt less about major brain injuries than
we can learn from his story of recovery.\”
Dr Mike Ardagh, ONZM, PhD, MBChB, DCH, FACEM, Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Otago Christchurch. Emergency Medicine Physician
