YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As a rehabilitation engineer, James Sulzer spent years creating devices that he hoped would help patients recover from brain trauma. He believed strongly in the potential of rehab technology—that with the right robot, he could relieve a whole array of brain injuries.

But then, one spring day in 2020, a terrible accident forced James to apply everything he knew about science and rehabilitation to help fix his own family. The Atlantic senior editor Daniel Engber spent months talking to James, following him as he used his scientific knowledge to try to find meaning in tragedy.
