Oliver Morrison

As the author of ‘2020, The Year That Tried to Kill Me: A True Story’ Oliver Morrison is quick to point out, this isn’t a sob tale. Though the subject matter relates the horrific story of his struggles with ill-health it is really about how Oliver stayed positive and retained his sense of humour throughout a year in which he fought for his life with a mysterious flu like illness which caused a collapsed lung, pneumonia and a fractured rib. Then came another huge health scare - a brain haemorrhage caused by aneurysms that resulted in a blood clot on the brain and a stroke during the operation that saved his life. The story is intended to give the readers hope, especially in the wake of Covid-19 and Long Covid and inspire them not to give up in the face of adversity, no matter how harsh it may seem.Highlights from Toby Gribben's Friday afternoon show on Shout Radio.
