Traumatic Brain
Injuries
Alan, my 21 year old cousin was a very talented
graphic designer. He had recently moved to Scotland to pursue employment and
enjoy his freedom. He quickly made friends, loved his work and enjoyed
living within close range to the mountains in the Highlands.
Unfortunately, he was out mountain biking one day. He attempted a stunt
which involved riding down a nearly vertical incline. He lost control of
his bike and flew over the handlebars, smashing his head on a rock.
Although he was wearing a helmet, he still ended up in a coma for three
months. When he finally woke up, he was a different person. He had
suffered a moderate traumatic brain injury and would never be the same.
His personality changed drastically. He went from being a shy, sensitive
and caring person, prior to the accident, to an obnoxious, angry and
confrontational young man. His family was very supportive, but after
several violent outbursts, his parents and sisters became afraid of him.

Today, thanks to medication, Alan is no longer as given to these
angry episodes. He has a modest flat in a residence for disabled
persons, not far from his family home. He works a few hours a week in a local
DIY shop and has been reduced to a very limited functioning capacity.
All due to his traumatic brain injury.
A couple of years after my cousin's accident, my friends 23 year old sister,
Sue
was driving home from work. She was in her second year of teaching at a
Montessori school - she had really found her calling. She was about five
minutes from home, on the edge of town. An older man driving a one-ton
truck, made an illegal left turn just as she proceeded into an intersection
on a green light. The vehicles collided and my sister was mashed inside of
her crumpled car. Ambulance attendants had to use the Jaws of life to get
her out of the vehicle. She was rushed to the hospital in critical
condition. Along with a broken back, shattered arm and ankle, she also
suffered a traumatic brain injury.
It's been two years since my friends sister's car accident. She will likely never
be able to return to teaching. She spends most of her time in bed and is
medicated to such an extreme degree that she's basically sleeping her life
away.
Prior to the accident, Sue was a very kind, loving and compassionate
person. We have noted extreme changes in her attitudes and behaviour due to
the brain injury. She has great difficulty being around children for any
extended length of time. She becomes very anxious in social settings and
has demonstrated self-destructive behaviour on many occasions.
In addition, since the car accident, she has demonstrated strong signs of
Bipolar Personality Disorder, triggered by the trauma and resulting brain
injury. Her life will never be the same.
Both cases indicate the disastrous results of vehicle accidents and the
ensuing tragedy of living with a traumatic brain injury. It's a sobering reminder to
value our health and to never take for granted life as we know it.
