Abstract

As medical knowledge has grown in the past decade, it has been able to save countless lives ravaged by perhaps the most devastating of all injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI). As these survivors fight to rebuild their lives, the medical professionals involved find new alliances being formed with other professions that can aid in understanding the challenges facing these individuals post injury. The following paper is ethnographic in its approach, looking from the point of view of an educator working along side medical professionals in the field of cognitive rehabilitation. Hopefully, this paper will offer both professions different insights into this emerging field, and allow all of us to see the human condition in a new light.
