This is a special page intended for those in the medical and legal professions who offer services to people with brain injuries. In these last years I realized there is little coordination between the medical professionals who are treating various problems associated with TBI. It was challenging for me, as the brain injured patient to sort through all the information I was given. Sometimes I would have to explain it to another provider. Sometimes, I got the best medical advice from my attorney who specializes in brain injury cases. Interdisciplinary care and awareness of treatment options is definitely lacking especially for those of us considered to have “mild TBI”.
