THE Documentary To Understand Severe Head Injury & Coma

Watch the Full video:    • THE Documentary To Understand Severe Head ...   My team and I got a job to make a one hour prime time television special on coma, severe injury, injury from strokes in 1988 - TIA medicine, spinal cord injuries, neurologic conditions, cerebral palsy, etc. It wasn't an easy subject but we decided to focus on young people who had severe head injuries largely due to drunk driving and drunk drivers. It was so sad to see these young people struggling just to remember the word fork or spoon. Drunk driving is a serious issue in the USA. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), young drivers (ages 16-24) are at a higher risk of being involved in drunk driving accidents than other age groups. In 2019 there were 6,205 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in the United States, and 25% of these fatalities involved young drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. However according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 2.87 million Americans suffered from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The causes of TBI can vary but some of the most common causes include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries and assaults. Our initial research led us to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, considered one of the best hospitals for the treatment of severe head injury, strokes, and coma. They helped us to understand the problem before we filmed. They have a team of highly trained physicians and healthcare professionals who specialize in the treatment of severe head injury, strokes and coma. The hospital has specialized units for neurosurgery and neurology. They also are home to the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of neurological disorders. I would like to thank the advertisers who post ads on this video helping me to continue to post films from my archives. They include best neurologist for headaches. best neurologist near me.

If you are watching this documentary (which won several national awards in its category) you might be wondering who funded it and who appears in it as its host. It was funded by Ala Isham who has done extraordinary things in her life to help those with trauma and their families and to support the victims of crimes. Among other things she founded the Brain Trauma Foundation, the Sunny von Bulow Head And Trauma Research Foundation and the National Center For Victims Of Crime. As a young person, Ala worked for me as an assistant producer on my 1980 documentary about Alfred Eisenstadt the great Life Magazine photographer. Ala is a wonderful high-energy person who could have taken her extraordinary wealth and just done nothing. She did the polar opposite and continues to do so. Here is an article on her what she is up to these days: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/lei... I thank Ala for making this documentary possible and for appearing in it with her brother as hosts (which Ala was reluctant to do).
