Brain injury is always complex. An organ as
multifaceted, as vulnerable and as essential to our proper daily
functioning must never be taken for granted.
What
to do in case of Emergency:
You should see a doctor immediately upon
receiving any kind of blow to the head. Symptoms may not be evident
immediately.
Untrained individuals should not attempt to treat
or diagnose anyone with serious injuries.
If you want to know more about brain injury and
its related effects, there are a great many good resources available
on the web. We list many of the top links here.
The more informed you are, the better able you
are to make the right decisions for you and your loved ones. We
