Jacob Haendel’s Recovery Channel

This is a video I put together of me talking about what my channel is all about! My journey back from locked in syndrome! This is the first time I talk about this on camera.

Wow, your story is so intense and powerful. I’m so happy for your recovering. Really, you are amazing. Thank you for letting us all know about what you went through and how well you’re doing now.

[@miraclman31]

Thank you very much and you’re very welcome

[@janepemberton2476]

Just heard the amazing story of your journey on Snap Judgement. You have such a tremendous story to tell. I’m in awe of your fortitude. Shout out to speech therapists who believed you were in there and came in after you. I imagine your mother whispering in your ear all along the way.

[@miraclman31]

Thanks so much! I believe she was!

[@janepemberton2476]

@@miraclman31 it’s like she has been extending all the possibilities she can see from (…wherever ) and offering you a mainline to ‘Source’. I see that. And now your training wheels are coming off and you are pedaling off under your own force to live. And what a fantastic team you must have, seen and unseen.

@@janepemberton2476 I absolutely love this

[@sarac.3259]

Jacob, sheer determination, perseverance and tenacity - plus medical expertise and family support, undoubtedly - have got you here. I admire you hugely. There is no stopping you. I am sure you are providing hope to many, many people. Thank you for these videos - I only found you a little earlier today. I imagine it takes considerable effort to speak clearly as you do - something taken for granted by most of us. Keep fighting. We shall continue watching. 😊

[@wednesday1899]

Your speech from your first video to now is remarkable, working my way towards your newest vids, can’t wait to see your progress!

[@miraclman31]

thank you so much for the love

As a former neuro nurse- I enjoyed learning about your story! I subscribed and look forward to seeing updates. I always treated my seemingly unconscious patients like they were conscious and would have conversations with them. Sometimes their vital signs would slightly react and I would interpret that as a response. The brain really is the final frontier of medicine and you never really know what’s going on up there! My coworkers thought I was a little fruity for talking to my patients like I did- but I didn’t care- my patients always were my main concern and I felt like if it gave them any comfort to hear a friendly voice it was worth it.

[@miraclman31]

So good to have you on my channel thank you for sharing this with me you should always talk to your patients you never know they may be listening

[@chrisrand2638]

I'm so happy I stumbled upon your story, Jake. I heard it on Snap Judgment and was very touched by it and can relate to some of it. I just finished reading The Unearthed Soul which talks about identifying who we are, that "who", that is inside. Singer writes, "I am the one who sees. From back in here somewhere, I look out, and I am aware of the events, thoughts, and emotions that pass before me." I wish you continued progress. You are a blessing to us all.

[@miraclman31]

Thank you! That’s a great passage

[@izzy9132]

Hi Jake, Just read your story in People online. Im so glad you're here and willing to share yourself and journey with us. I suspect you have a lot to teach me about so Im hear to listen. A long gone former Bostonian, Izzy

[@tararamirez8673]

As a medical student all the way from the Caribbean, your story inspires me to make sure to always think of patients as human beings first, to never forget about the person inside. It’s also a reminder that we can’t lose hope even in the face of scary diseases like the one you had. We’re so glad to have you here with us, and that you’ve had the strength to fight through this. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

[@miraclman31]

@@miraclman31 yeah man, talking to a camera or even just hearing your voice on a recording is so weird. Btw your AMA is what got me to your channel. I’m enjoying learning about your experience, you are in such a unique position to share insight into something that’s next to impossible for people to learn about
