Having Counselors and advocates talk to patients can help save lives.
Why is this important?
I had surgery for my a birth defect in my brain, and I did not have anyone to help guide me through this confusing time. As a teenager, I just felt like I had to go along with everything the doctors told me and just accept my new life. I believe that if people who have traumatic Brain Injuries, had better advocacy, there would be less crime and suicides.
