Brain Injury Facts

Did you know that....
 Every 15 seconds someone in the USA suffers a brain injury? (According to US Statics)

Every 5 minutes someone dies of a brain injury in the USA alone? (According to US Statics)

That is 288 deaths from brain injury EVERY DAY in the USA!
AIDS deaths are listed at 97 per day. (According to US Statics)
That is almost a 300% difference, yet most people that get a TBI (Tramatic Brain Injury) never know about it!

That you don't even have to be unconscious to receive a TBI?
Often people are sent home from the Emergency Room without any info on "Concussions",
if they even got to the Emergency Room at all!
Shaking an infant can cause a TBI.
Whiplash effects can cause a TBI.

Someone with a TBI has 7 times the chance of having a second TBI?
The risk factor is higher with subsequence TBI's.

Most of TBI's occur in young men, and most in sports?
Yet many players that are hurt are told to "shake it off" and "get right back in the game".
Suffering a second concussion during the same game has senselessly killed people.

Most TBI are preventable.
What are you doing to protect yourself?
Do you wear a helmet when riding a bike or rollerblading?

A lot of TBI's are not reported as people are embarassed by them.
Look at the hockey players and movie and music stars that have suffered TBI's.
Even the media downplays the seriousness of a TBI.
Most movies and soap opera's have coma patients waking up as if
nothing more than a dream has happened.
We wish that it were so in real life.
