HEART TRANSPLANT: Dan's story

Dan never dreamt he'd be receiving a heart transplant in July 2021 having just turned 40. In this episode with Rob Underwood from the British Heart Foundation, he explains how he’d lived with a heart condition since his mid 20s. But it deteriorated rapidly in the six months or so before his operation to the point where he spent eleven unforgettable days on life support. After his recovery journey, Dan's now realising long held ambitions which include performing stand up comedy! It's a compelling story, serving to illustrate just what can be achieved after such a life changing experience.
