Again read is a strong word. More skimming the appropriate sections. Didn’t realize how dense a medical textbook can be. I appreciate the Docs and Nurses who actually have to read, study, and then utilize this information. Brain injuries are no fun.

This is Dr. Katz's new book. He is the neurologist at Braintree Rehab and I think this will be a great reference on TBI.
