Overview of brain injuries
The devastation of a brain injury for residents of Ontario and others across the country can be life-changing. In an instant, a person’s life can shatter via a car accident, a football injury or a fall off a stepladder. The medical community has placed increasing attention on the problem of brain injuries, especially in the last three decades. Advances in research and technology mean that people who might have previously died will now live. However, the cost in terms of finances, social changes and mental effects can be enormous.
