In this episode, we examine the derivation of the title for this podcast as well as the experience of surviving a ruptured brain aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The title addresses how in everyday life, the true villains according to David Foster Wallace in his novel The Pale King are things like boredom and apathy. A hero will not save you from these obstacles. It is up to you to address them. Similarly, we look at part one of the experience of adjusting to life after overcoming an aneurysm. Good times abound in the inaugural episode! So, sit back and enjoy, and hopefully, this episode will help you to endure some difficult times in your life.
