As I write this, it’s aortic dissection awareness day. Not another blog on AAD I hear you cry…But we thought you might all like an update and a consolidation on what is happening in the world of this black swan diagnosis.

Very thought provoking and emotional podcast to listen to. From now on, I really will be thinking about AD more than I do. We need more podcasts like this, where survivors and relatives speak as it gives a voice to medical conditions making us stop and listen.
