The Man with No Fear

BBC Radio 5 Live - Different with Nicky Campbell, The Man with No Fear

Nicky meets Jordy Cernik, who underwent brain surgery which left him unable to feel fear.

Jordy Cernik tells Nicky what life is like when you’re biologically unable to feel fear - after a rare disease led to a brain surgery which changed his life forever.

Jordy Cernik was an up and coming TV and radio presenter when a rare disease called Cushing Syndrome started wreaking havoc on his life. After a string of life or death brain surgeries Jordy was left with one unexpected symptom - he is physically unable to feel fear. He told Nicky about jumping out of a plane to prove it, what life is like without fear and what it’s like to die on the operating table.


WARNING: This episode contains graphic descriptions of surgical procedures.
