In this episode, Parshawn and Miles speak with Sahand Fardi. Sahand recounts the series of health complications that began to take place when he was in the 5th grade, ultimately leading to him being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a very rare autoimmune disease which effects roughly 1 in 500,000 people following the administration of a flu vaccine.
Sahand gives us insight into the many questions, concerns, and trips to various doctors around the country that took place in order for him and his family to finally gain clarity in regards to his condition. Sahand discusses his road to recovery, and talks about how growing up with Guillain-Barré syndrome has impacted his mindset and outlook on life. We then discuss how his experience fueled his desire to study neuroscience, with the ultimate end goal of attending medical school and becoming a doctor himself in order to use his knowledge to help kids be kids, without having to experience the hardships that he experienced.
