Bacterial meningitis has been in the news recently, with outbreaks at Princeton University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. But nine years ago, it made local headlines when a University of Kansas student became seriously ill with the disease overnight.
In the second part of Wednesday's Up to Date, we talk with that student, now a reporter in Topeka, about the disabling effects of the disease and how it's changed his life.
Guest:
- Andy Marso, Topeka Capital-Journal reporter and author of Worth the Pain: How Meningitis Nearly Killed Me - Then Changed My Life for the Better.
