TBI Santa Wish List

TBI Santa Wish List

Home  \  TBI Santa Wish List

by Attorney Gordon S. Johnson, Jr.

While I still believe in Santa Claus, I no longer believe in magic:

I wish:

  1. That each time we see a child on a bicycle without a helmet, that we become righteously uninhibited and tell them and their parents off;
  2. That we get the BIA to sponsor a physician brain injury conference in our home state and personally invite, pressure and lay a guilt trip on every M.D. we know, especially emergency room doctors, to attend;
  3. That we eradicate the use of the term “mild” to describe concussion and permanent brain injury;
  4. That we are never too busy for our cyber friends in need;
  5. That we never quit our advocacy against insurance companies, neurologists and those who use the term “malingerer”;
  6. That we each personally tell a doctor, lawyer or health care professional about how much information there is on the web, how to find it and that it is their sworn duty to go get it;
  7. That you all find a good neuropsychologist and pass on the word when you do;
  8. That we all make a caregiver feel how special and critical they are.

NEXT: Hope For Anger.

Understanding Subtle Brain Injury

Brain ScanThe concussions that disable, are almost always more symptomatic at 24 hours, than at the 2-4 hour time frame when injured persons are evaluated in the emergency room. Brain injury symptoms escalate over the first 24 hours, because brain injury involves a cascade of events. It is critical that if you are still symptomatic the day after your injury, go back to the same Emergency Room, don’t wait for a doctors appointment. It is critical that the Emergency Room personnel see that the symptoms still persist or have gotten worse.
