Description
An increasing number of people die in traffic accidents each year. The hidden road toll, the drivers, passengers and pedestrians who are head-injured but not killed is a significantly higher figure, and improved medical techniques should ensure a greater survival rate in the future. But the accident victim is not the only sufferer. This book is written for the family and friends of a head-injured person, providing comprehensive information not normally available to the layperson on the effects and treatment of head injury, prognostic signs and rehabilitation of the patient.
