College is a tough time for any kid. But it should also be exciting. Then to experience the freedoms of young adulthood, only later to face the horrifying reality of a progressive neurodegenerative condition...it's not something anyone should experience. In this week's continuation of the patient narrative series, Dr. Paul McIntosh (Duke) shares his life-changing story, and his optimism, about surviving a chronic neurological illness.

Produced by James E. Siegler with the help of Paul McIntosh. For more information about Pompe Disease, check out the resources provided by the United Pompe Foundation at unitedpompe.com. Music for our program this week was courtesy of Ars Sonor, Franz Danzi, Lee Rosevere, and Scott Holmes. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion.
