Description
What would you do if one day you were hit by a bus. Not a metaphorical bus, a literal bus. For actress Madeleine West, in the middle of her soapy drama career acting on TV soap ‘Neighbours’ she found herself laid out on a hospital bed after a freak accident saw her hit in the head by a bus on a busy Sydney street. What followed was a diagnosis of an acquired brain injury, years of therapy, and a long road to recovery.
The invisible hero of this episode is a woman Madeleine will probably never see again. A woman who helped her overcome a trauma that had paralysed her for 18 years.
