to vote for favorites. Only 6 votes needed to get on the list.I opened up the mail today to find a letter from the hospital I was at on halloween night. The opening sentence of the letter stated: “You were recently treated for your injury in which you sustained a concussion.“. The letter went on to offer assistance in my recovery and the envelope included a pamphlet entitled Facts about concussion and brain injury. The letter was an interesting surprise, mostly because I had no idea I had sustained a concussion.
Write stuff down for people with brain injuries. That should be the title of a class in med school don’t you think. They could have a discussion about how communicating verbally with the guy that has two eyes swollen shut and blood coming out of his ear is not recommended. I might make the mistake of presuming that general medical knowledge would allow you to suss out that fact, but I could be forgiven my error in judgment I suppose because, as it turns out, I have a brain injury. The letter in the mail notifying me of potentially serious danger signs to watch out for fifteen days after my hospital visit is a nice touch though. Had I suffered a stroke brought on by a blood clot it probably would have been a real comfort to know someone cared. It’s sweet really.
