Thanks everyone....I knew I had a brain injury, but I didn't think I was that stupid! Thank god it was the article and not me this time lol

Ok, this is the last one I post, but I can't believe there are so many out there that believe this.

This last article is written by an attorney/MD who appears to be a 'hired gun.'

These hire guns can make outrageous fees as expert witnesses.

New Hampshire is a wobbler state regarding Daubert vs Frye standards of evidence. Daubert is becoming more the standard but the courts allow arguing the Frye standard which has a lesser standard of validation.

Frye provides more opportunities for attorneys and expert witnesses to make their fees due to the ability to extend the arguing in litigation.

This article's author appears to be ignorant of the sub-concussive impact effect on the brain. This is odd considering that Dr Robert Cantu, one of the first to warn of sub-concussive impacts practices neurosurgery in Concord Mass and at Mass General Hospital.

HeadStrong, You finds are just the tip of the iceberg, I have seen scores of similar reports and court documents arguing the same BS back when I was working on my WC claim.

Sounds like another person with a preconceived opinion on how things should be but not how they actually are.

I especially like this part:

"Similarly, it is a curious observation that some of the more dramatic mental and behavioral symptoms reported as part of mild TBI in adults are not seen in children."


Well, a brand new study published in "Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine" begs to differ on that statement:

Children are much more likely to suffer from post concussive symptoms and related functional consequences.

I also don't like that i canīt find the articles he cites. Makes me feel like he has something to hide.

There are more factual errors in the article but i donīt want to go into details.

I guess I feel like my energy is so limited that my time is too. After reading your few comments about this article I decided not to read it at all - I recommend some of you do the same. It's just not worth my limited time and limited energy to read something that won't help me to get better.

That's interesting and good advice! I have been to this post a few times and decided not to waste my energy reading the article either. I appreciate the comments however as it's a good reminder for me that there are a lot of professionals out there who are clueless.

Thanks all.
