TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES – THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING ALL BLOWS TO THE HEAD SERIOUSLY
Traumatic brain injuries have been in the news quite a bit in recent years, with the US’s military presence in the middle east as well as new developments in the medical industry.

TBIs can result from sports injuries, vehicle accidents, explosions in active military zones, falls, and much more.
