The Nurse: Living with Head/Brain Injury

By Gill Carruthers

The Effects of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) Doctors say that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a catastrophic condition, like burns, amputations, and spinal cord injuries. But TBI is different. It upsets life on multiple levels: physical, psychological, social, and even spiritual. TBI affects the roots of who we are - our ability to think, to communicate, and to connect with other people. For approximately 85 percent of people with TBI, those problems eventually resolve, but the remaining 15 percent have lasting difficulties. If you're dealing with lingering symptoms of a TBI, or if you're caring for a loved one, it can help to understand more about the wide range of challenges that TBI can pose. Michael Paul Mason Mason's first book, Head Cases Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath, is an exploration into the harsh realities endured by people with brain injury. This is the author Gill Carruther's second book. She hopes that in sharing this information, it helps promote a better understanding of what is sometimes termed "the hidden handicap". "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal." Albert Pine
