Would it help lead to innovative treatments?
My visual test indicated damage to certain parts of the brain, hence they asked me to do vestibular therapy. but my neuro still said at least there's nothing wrong with your brain because of negative mri.
When I confronted him about visual tests results he said "oh there is organic damage we cant see." lol
At least I got that out of him,

Having visual confirmation of our injuries would make a HUGE difference.
In addition to easing our path with doctors and insurers, it would help eliminate the guilt some patients harbour that they might, somehow, be malingerers.
Concrete proof of TBI might also encourage research and treatment. After all, doctors can't work on a cure, if they won't acknowledge the problem.
Bring it on.
