In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Claire Thelen, and Tim Benak welcome Tess Sunderland to the podcast. Tess shares her journey over the last 10+ years of living with a brain injury. Twelve years ago, a lightning bolt came out of a mostly clear sky and struck the young archaeologist while on a dig in New Mexico. The bolt nearly killed her, resulting in an anoxic and traumatic brain injury. Her injuries were so severe she required months of hospital care and more than a year of intensive rehabilitation.

In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Claire Thelen, and Tim Benak welcome Kent Templien to the podcast.

Templien was deer hunting on his property near Tecumseh, NE when he had a roll-over accident. He had seen another hunter on his land, got in his UTV and planned to speak with him. But as he approached, a front tire on the UTV fell off a terrace. The vehicle rolled, throwing Templien, who was not wearing a seat belt. After an initial hospital stay and plenty of hard work over the next four years in rehabilitation, Templien has found himself on his feet again. He no longer uses a wheelchair. Instead, he uses a rolling walker and has found many ways to be engaged in his family and community life.

We hope the conversation is enlightening and inspiring. Enjoy!

Nationally, he was co-director, National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System, one of just 14 such centers in the country.

Board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, electrodiagnostic medicine, and spinal cord injury medicine, Dr. Gater was extensively published and made hundreds of local, departmental, and conference presentations. He was internationally known for his work in obesity and metabolic disease among people with spinal cord injury and disease, and was a staunch advocate for his patients.

A world-renowned physician and researcher, Dr. Gater will be remembered as brilliant, innovative, kind, and compassionate. His influence will be carried forward by his colleagues, patients, and those he taught and mentored.

We hope you can learn from and enjoy our conversation!
