I’m a tenured law professor at UNLV. This semester I’m teaching Bioethics and Constitutional Law.
I am healthy, happy, working, and working out.
But I went through hell to be here.
Why? Because twice, doctors told members of my family that due to brain injury, I was about to die. Or if I lived, I would probably live in rehab the rest of my life because I would not be able to work again.
