Oscar-worthy care
When filmmaker Sarah Polley accepted an Oscar for writing “Women Talking” in March, it was the culmination of a long journey back to health. A concussion she suffered in 2015 had left her with debilitating symptoms for years. Polley credited Pitt Med concussion expert Micky Collins with a treatment plan that allowed her to write and direct her acclaimed fourth feature. And she says the title of her 2022 essay collection, “Run Towards the Danger,” was inspired by Collins’ advice to retrain her brain “by charging toward the very activities that triggered my symptoms.”
