Alan Lundgaard: 本故事讲述了我和女友Emily的爱情故事以及她遭遇车祸后昏迷,最终康复的历程。我们相恋9个月,感情深厚。车祸后,Emily昏迷不醒,医生一度认为她脑死亡,建议将她送往疗养院。但我坚持不放弃,尝试各种方法与她沟通,最终通过手指拼写和助听器帮助她恢复了意识和记忆。 Emily Gossiaux: 我在车祸中严重受伤,昏迷期间感觉自己被困在一个黑暗的空间里,无法与外界沟通。醒来后,我失明失聪,Alan一直陪伴在我身边,帮助我康复。我尝试使用BrainPort设备,用舌头感知图像,后来我通过触觉绘画,并创作了以我和导盲犬London为主题的艺术作品。 Susan Gossiaux: 我是Emily的母亲,得知女儿遭遇车祸后,我立即赶到医院。看到女儿伤势严重,我一度绝望。医生建议将Emily送往疗养院,但我相信女儿能够康复。Alan的坚持和努力最终帮助Emily恢复了意识和记忆,我非常感激他。 Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich: 我们讲述了Emily的非凡经历,展现了爱情和坚韧的力量。Emily的故事感动了无数听众,也引发了人们对康复和人际关系的思考。 Dr. Michal Eisenberg: 康复治疗需要病人能够积极参与并遵从指令,而Emily最初无法做到这些,因此我们建议将她送往疗养院。 Sam Kean: 人们通常认为是用眼睛来看东西,但实际上是用大脑来看东西。BrainPort设备通过将图像转换成电信号,刺激舌头,从而让盲人能够感知图像。 Sindhu Nyamasambandhan: 十年后,我们再次采访了Emily,了解了她最近的生活和艺术创作。她已经完成了MFA课程,并在世界各地展出作品。她的作品主要关注记忆、梦想、残疾人和动物之间的关系、爱、亲密关系和合作关系。 Kirby: 我是Emily的伴侣,一直陪伴在她身边,支持她的艺术创作。

Shownotes Transcript

This is a segment we first aired back in 2011. In it, we hear a story of a very different kind of lost and found. Alan Lundgard, a college art student, fell in love with a fellow art student, Emilie Gossiaux. Nine months after Alan and Emilie made it official, Emilie's mom, Susan Gossiaux, received a terrible phone call from Alan. Together, Susan and Alan tell Jad and Robert about the devastating fork in the road that left Emilie lost in a netherworld, and how Alan found her again.

Then, at the end of the episode, and a full decade later, we catch up with Emilie and talk about her art, her heart, a dog named London, and the movie The Fifth Element.
