My recovery story: Brain aneurysm survivor Raoul Jenkins

Raoul Jenkins II was driving to see friends when he had a car accident. His sister and some friends quickly arrived on the scene, finding him shook up and disoriented. When he tried to get out of the car to get some water, he had a seizure and collapsed. Rushed to Palmetto Health Richland, testing revealed that Raoul had suffered a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.

A cerebral aneurysm is a bulging or “ballooning” in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. If an aneurysm grows, it can rupture and lead to bleeding in the brain. September is National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. In this video, Raoul, his family and physician tell the story of Raoul’s near-fatal aneurysm and the long road to his astonishing recovery.
