Brain Damage Video

It is unbelievable how a simple mistake can change someone’s life so much they no longer will recognize any aspect of it. Out of a simple fight or an accidental car crash a bang in the head can hurt the brain and therefore take our lives, as we know them, away, giving us in return a new way of life that we can do nothing but deal with. The various examples we saw from the Brain Damage video showed us the three possible injuries on the brain; contusion of the brain, axonal injury, and hematoma. Whichever one of these, horrible consequences follow. These horrible consequences in which the people who suffer from brain injuries are doomed to live with include the way other people will look at them. In other words, it alters the society’s acceptance because these people never saw the injured patients as the humans they used to be, they can’t see past the injuries; these become their focal points. I think this is probably one of the hardest parts of the patients; feeling the stares of shock from society. They may look in the mirror and find deep inside a shadow of what they used to be but since the accident, since their brains suffered the damage, nothing is the same.
