Does any one have any advice, my father fell down ... - Headway
Does any one have any advice, my father fell down the stairs in March 2012.
Did he fall due to a brain injury or did the fall result in a brain injury?
The fall resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury.
i am not a doc but appears to me as if dad suffering a form of concussion which i have in the past had infact played a hole half of rugby and couldnt remember a thing which was surprising as i scored 2 tries
