I don't believe the government and the research centers know the similarities or differences between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hypoxic or anoxic brain injury
because no one is looking.
I have found no past (within 25 years) peer-reviewed and
published, current, or proposed studies on the rehabilitation of adult patients
with hypoxic or anoxic brain injury. If they exist, they do not pop up on the
CDC site or clinicaltrials.gov.
The focus of Federal funds is toward
traumatic brain injury. The Baylor evaluator told me they do not want to work
with hypoxic or anoxic brain injury. This leaves anyone who suffers a stroke,
heart attack, or has any other health issue that causes brain damage begging for
treatment.
Get drunk, act stupid, and cause yourself a brain injury...you get
accepted into a brain rehab program. Live clean, but have health issues and have
a brain injury, the system says minimal treatment.
The CDC has a focus on
concussions, particularly those caused by sports' injuries. However, they
significantly leave out people who have a concussion caused by automobile
accidents. There is gross discrimination in the system as far as I am
concerned.
The researchers cannot find what they do not seek. They are willfully blind.
Follow me on my daughter's journey to recovery after a sudden medically unexplained hypoxic brain injury, her 16 months of recovery, and her sudden cardiac arrest that eventually took her life. This is about my beloved Brenna and a mother's reflections while she was ill and after her loss. God has sent me on a journey to use her story to help and educate others. The opinions on this blog are based on 6000 hours spent with My Brenna over a 16 month period.
