Wow, interesting!
I read somewhere that they're saying that now there exists the real possibility to "unlock" sufferers from this devastating condition. Thanks, elte!

"When Conrad survived his accident, I was not given much hope or guidance; in fact I was encouraged to institutionalize Conrad," Tullis said. "Other families were encouraged to withdraw care. Because ABI is believed to be 'generalized' brain damage, the prevailing medical prognosis is grim and any treatment or recovery is considered too difficult if not impossible. Probably commercial or management policy angles that will still have to be overcome, or waiting _X_ years for the next scheduled standards and guidelines revision. Even when "We've got new data!" is substantiated, the institutional structure may have to first ensure that its own needs can adjust and have so completed adapting to the goaded changes. - - - |
