Episode 2: Between The Notes
transcript
show notes
Jasmine is a gifted teenage pianist, but something is beginning to interrupt the music.
What starts as an occasional headache gradually becomes harder to ignore. The pain grows more frequent. Sound becomes unbearable. School, piano, and daily life begin to slip out of reach.
Her family tells her it's “just a headache.” Over-the-counter medications help—until they don’t. Then come the emergency department visit, the brain scans, the uncertain MRI report, and months of waiting for answers.
In episode 2 of Tales From the Cortex, we follow Jasmine through the fear, frustration, and isolation of worsening headaches.
Sometimes, the most important part of the story is what happens between the notes.
Every symptom is a clue. Every brain has a story.

The bonus teaching segment at the end turns the narrative into a practical guide for clinicians, and trainees.
