With such significant numbers, one might assume that resources to deal with brain injuries and the number of knowledgeable practitioners in this field would be considerable. This brief video would indeed indicate the opposite. The majority of the content of the video focuses on a young automobile accident victim, who although physically recovered and restored by cosmetic surgery, suffers the lingering effects of a traumatic brain injury. Through a series of video shots and her nearly poetic dialogue, viewers are able to sense the confusion of her life as a result of the automobile accident. Short interview excerpts are provided from other brain injury patients as well. They discuss their accidents and the difficulty in receiving adequate and appropriate care for their injuries including issues related to initial diagnosis and poor post-discharge follow-up. A minimal amount of technical information related to brain injury is presented. This video is more about the emotional toll that brain injury can create.
