Putting a Face on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A recent article in Oregon's The Eureka Reporter puts a face on traumatic brain injury.
The article follows Sean Sullivan, a TBI survivor who has never recovered from the traumatic brain injury he suffered after a car crash two decades ago.
...The swelling, bleeding or bruising that happens when the brain bounces against the skull leaves almost 350,000 people a year unable to return to work and some 5.3 million in need of help to perform activities of daily living. Although it weighs only three pounds, the brain harbors some 100 billion cells, most of which are the neurons that fire the electronic signals that regulate behavior.
