Injured Mind, Shattered Dreams: Brian's Journey from Severe Head Injury to a New Dream
This is the story of Brian, a college student headed for a normal adulthood whose car strikes a lightpole The direct impact when his head hits the windshield causes severe brain injury. His life course changes dramatically while the family struggles to cope first with his possible death, and then with a quite changed brother and son. A moving and timely account, this book speaks to the current debate about health care and rehabilitation. Support of his continuing care by a health maintenance organization (HMO) depends on a full barrage of publicity (a series in the Washington Post), and parent pressure, while the HMO's actions reflect efforts to minimize costs and lack of knowledge about traumatic brain injury..
