Ep 4 Meet Brian Ferguson

What about PS? A Poland Syndrome Podcast

Welcome to What about PS? A Poland Syndrome Podcast, the show where we share inclusive and varied experiences of people living with Poland Syndrome.
I'm your host, Giselle Barbosa, and today we're diving into getting to know Brian Ferguson and his journey with Poland Syndrome, music and life. Whether you're a longtime listener or a newbie, we're so glad you're here.

On today's episode, we're joined by our volunteer Brian Ferguson. , who talks his earliest memories of surgery in childhood, learning to play the guitar and the joy of discovering ways to use both hands at the same time. Together, we'll explore how autonomy is important to Brian, about disability, making adaptation's and self-acceptance. And as always, we'll wrap up with some of our personal experiences.
Brian is 40 and a life long New Yorker from long Island. He's been eager to share his knowledge and experience living with rare disabilities, including Poland's Syndrome. Despite his limb differences, he learned to play guitar in part to play Christmas carols for the elderly in nursing homes for an annual event. Brian is a supporter of limb difference representation in media and had himself drawn into a Darkhorse comic book to help with that goal. You may contact him at brianspoon83 on Instagram, where he plans to post clips of the exercises he is able to do with his limb difference.
