Mike Knox | Medtech Advocate & Comedian | A Father's Perspective on Epilepsy & the Power of Medical Devices
Mike Knox is a standup comedian and the author of ”Vivien’s Rain.” In this unique episode that reveals the perspective of a device end-user, Mike shares his personal journey into the MedTech field through the lens of his daughter’s epilepsy and the life-saving (and life-giving!) impact of a vagus nerve stimulator. He discusses the challenges faced before discovering the device, the transformation in his daughter’s life post-surgery, and his advocacy work. Mike also touches on the stigma surrounding epilepsy, the importance of compassion, and his career shift from law enforcement to comedy, using humor to inform and inspire others.
