Nick,

That sounds like a horrible and thoughtless thing for your doctor to say, particularly if it was not accompanied by any helpful advice. Did this doctor give you any referrals or advice?

I would not base all your future hopes on the claims of one doctor, especially since there are so many bad doctors out there. You need to get some more feedback on this from different doctors--ones who specialize in concussions and TBIs.

Do not lose hope, my friend. There has to be someone else you can see who has more detailed knowledge of this condition, and who can offer you some more constructive advice.

Pete
