- Q16019479 abstract "Tommy McHugh (1949- 19 September 2012) was an English artist and poet. A petty criminal and heroin addict in early life, when he was 51, he suffered a stroke on both sides of his brain that resulted in a new artistic personality.After an unfortunate issue in the bathroom, Tommy's blood pressure increased and caused two arteries to rupture in his brain, one on either side haemorrhaging a large quantity of blood.When he was released from hospital, he couldn't walk, he couldn't eat, he didn't know that he needed to eat. Once he started to walk, his head became full of notions, things he want to say, things he wanted to get out, so he began writing poetry - obsessively. He recalls: "The more I wrote, the more I wanted to write, it was like a drug". But, Tommy's poetry was just a prelude to his madness to come.Following this stroke to both sides of his brain (frontal lobe and temporal lobe), he developed a new personality with a compulsion to paint and an affinity to prose. This was quite a departure from his previous lifestyle as a builder.While relearning after his stroke, he began to write poetry to express everything he was experiencing.Desperate to find out what was going on, Tommy wrote to several neuroscientists and ended up working closely with Alice Flaherty at Harvard Medical School and Mark Lythgoe at University College London. Lythgoe and collaborators wrote a scientific paper on his conditionHe also experienced an identity crisis which was most likely the impetus for his artistic outputs.It is reported before his death that he was happy with his current condition.His story was featured on Mindshock on Channel 4 in 2006.He died in 2012 from cancer. However, his memory lives on at tommymchugh.co.uk".
