    Please send a copy of this video to the CEO of each health and rehabilitation insurance company. Once the insurance companies realize that they will save money, they will demand that their insured patients get access to this effective therapy.

    I got no correct diagnosis nor rehab of any kind after my brain injury. I worked very hard trying to relearn things alone & I'm proud of what I achieved. But life now is full of uncertainty: lost my fit strong body, my health, my job, my home, my relationships... The lucky few (what %?) get access to the best treatments and aftercare, the rest of us are left to rot. I WISH everyone could easily access all of it and most importantly: adapted safe hosing for LIFE = security.

      @@lovingfreedom5794 Hi, I have been concussion 30 plus times, and have survived 6 or 8 TBI's. Sorry but I lost count of concussions, and can't
      remember exactly how many TBI's, I sustained in the last 35 years. If I can be of any help, find a way to contact me. I don't know how.
      But I am pretty sure I can help.

    Excellent presentation about visual/spatial neglect, and the treatment protocol using prismatic goggles. Dr. Barrett has a talent for explaining very complex disorders in terms understandable by anyone. I see this engaging video as an attempt to spread an important treatment option to as many rehabilitation centers as possible to benefit the greatest number of patients. The personal touches she added illustrate the often overlooked creative and artistic aspects of delivering medical care. I hope she continues to make videos to reach an a larger audience.

    I am a level one trauma nurse of many years that worked at leading facilities. I was going to be a flight nurse. I give this background to let you know I am familiar with trauma. I am no longer a trauma nurse which was my passion, secondary to consenting to this procedure I was told was safe and effective.I am addressing those in rehabilitation medicine. I am asking for help in addressing these brain injury outcomes, now proved around devices in the California courts. The issue is electroshock or ECT. We have sustained repeated brain injuries at the hands of trusted providers. We are now sustaining further damages from providers, in trying to find help, and this is where I turn to your profession.Since providers do not want to implicate other providers nor facilities, never mind their risk their medical career if they were to expose this, we as victims of this are greatly suffering. I do not like to use the word victim, but here it applies. I am diligent with my own care in trying to recover from this and am far from silent when I cannot access needed resources. I am lucky in this way to be outspoken and to have a background that is well aware of testing needed and what has transpired around this. I am met with the same as my peers often in spite of this. We are TBI survivors just as any other survivor, only our mechanism of injury being electrical was delivered by physicians hands. We struggle daily to maintain our lives after not just one head injury, but multiples. We are told we have not been harmed. We are gas lighted when our reality is already skewed by traumatic brain injury. We ask for help, but doctors ignore and minimize us. We cannot access testing nor services, because reason for same would have to be acknowledged, and better to ignore than have your name as a provider in the notes exposing this battery at best. My peers are killing themselves because we are discounted in our suffering and actually in many instances treated with overt contempt when trying to find help from doctors and staff.Below is an outcome that is mine. I have been now identified with damages to my frontal lobes, cerebellum, and temporal lobes by a TBI specialist secondary to electroshock. It is is the medical records. I ask you in rehabilitation medicine to have these conversations with others so we can address this harm and get help to those that desperately need it. Expose this and shine a light as the public is at great risk. You are familiar with our struggles. We are just like any other TBI patient that needs your help and recognition please.
    There is a test called the VNG that is used to identify concussions and other brain injuries. It is the in office test similar to the on field test the NFL players now get called the I-PASS. Below are damages recorded in notes by TBI specialist to outcomes of electroshock. Perhaps this test may be used to identify TBI in ECT patients, as it is used for TBI in the NFL. These below findings around ECT are resulting from VNG testing. Patients are also showing changes on MRI, EEG, neuro/cog testing, and SPECT.
