thank you for your show.I have fronttolob demand since I was 2 years old And after that, And. heading injuries after that specially to the front of my head I have must the problems you talk about. You explain things so well.
I was injured at age seven, almost killed in a suitcase bombing. I'm just starting to watch this at 2 AM and will finish watching later today. Two things: 1. I hope you will discuss the neurocognitive stall. 2. I'm not an expert, and do not wish to trample upon your work, but I had always wondered why, according to the GCS, I wasn't that badly injured. Yet, my life was ruined. According to my neurologist - and I was not surprised to learn this - the GCS is becoming discredited. It is, after all, fifty years old, and neurology has learned a great deal since 1974. My neurologist said that the presence of delirium, now called "post traumatic confusion," is a much more ominous indicator. I was in delirium for three days.
The GCS is a terrible method of categorizing TBIs…and certainly doesn’t reflect outcome…unfortunately, it’s still widely used by Emergency Physicians and Trauma Surgeons, who are primary gatekeepers…we do mention the fact that GCS is a poor system in other videos…but maybe we need to make a dedicated video…
@@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938 thanks for answering. I appreciate your obvious knowledge and dedication. Who are you: doctor, patient, family member? I'm just curious. You do a fine job.
@@bobtaylor170 I’m just an editor for the channel…the presenter is a survivor and a brain injury specialist and was almost done with his PhD in neuropsychology (two semesters short) I think he said…before his first brain injury…also he is almost done with his neuropsychiatric nurse practitioner and he has his neuroscience nurse and psychiatric nurse certification and his Certified Brain Injury Specialist. He works as a Brain Injury Consultant for a hospital network. I’m an editor for the company he set up…for brain injury education. We are happy you’ve found us helpful. Weirdly enough we are both Marks with brain injury, although I’m not a medical person, but I’ve learned lots doing editing for the channel…😊 if you have any questions feel free to post them.
I had a birth TBI from forceps 7 1/2 premiere Skull fracture located near rTPJ, brain bleed, posttraumatic hydrocephalus EVD in NICU (unshunted), apnea detection sleep machine for first year of my life, 4 month surgery on skull, Epilepsy (grandmal and pitimal seizures) diagnosis around 5. Grandmal seizures stopped in grade school still have pitimal, Reading and spelling comprehension disabilities, Strabismus esotropia intermittent unilateral, sensory issues, central auditory (I lose words with too much background noise), migraines, depression and anxiety. By the time I was 25 my MRI didn't show the damage but the lasting effects are still there 4 decades later. I don't take any allopathic meds anymore. Herbal supplements,teas, tinctures and a healthy brain diet with regimented sleep schedule, daytime schedule and reduced external stressors as much as possible. Thank you so much for making this.
We don’t get into long term effects in this video…so developmental arrest or cognitive stall (depending on who you talk to ) is only briefly mentioned in passing in this video … more details in the next episode which will come later next month…
You broke this down in a very understandable way thank you
