TBI's Newest Treatment: Better Blood
http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/9e367f36fca9e010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html Traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) are a common injury found in the US, yet there are no treatments available to effectively address brain trauma. Over 1 million Americans suffer from TBI's each year, with an estimated 30% dying from brain trauma. Nine months ago, Jamie Robertson nearly died after tripping and falling onto the back of his head. His brain was severely bruised which causes several blood clots. Immediate surgery was needed and Robertson attributes his survival and miraculous recovery to a new treatment created by Dr. Bruce Spiess.
