This program is presented by an Attorney from the USA, who is a partner at one of the leading law firms in America. His law practice is devoted entirely to representing victims who sustained traumatic neurological disorders. He has worked on thousands of cases and provides insight on the remarkable power of rehabilitation. He will discuss the powerful impact comprehensive rehabilitation has on patients who sustained neurological disorders. The specific case featured involves the true story of an “All American” college student who, while on vacation, was walking and struck by a drunk driver’s vehicle traveling at over 80 kmph (50 mph). His parents were asked to consent to his organ donation due to the CT scans revealing their son’s severe brain damage (TBI), for which there is no cure. The family declined to consent to organ donation and instead got a room in the hospital to be with their son 24/7. The audience will witness powerful before and after photographs of this student. The “after” photographs depict the student in a coma and on full life-support. The program educates the audience about neurological disorders through an attorney from the perspective of the survivor and their family, while also providing them with needed tools to help them in their own professional and personal capacities. Traumatic brain injury is the silent epidemic of our time. Despite the tens of millions who sustain a TBI every year, very few medical professionals, employers, educators and people understand the reality of what the survivor and family experience. The most effective way to get an understanding of traumatic brain injury and how to deal with it is directly from the perspective of a survivor. The author has presented this program on TV, through the news media and to hundreds of audiences worldwide.
