Blush Multiple concussions-Where to get help?

I have had at least 6 concussive incidents in my life. I have since gone on to earn a Master's Degree. However, now that I am out of school, I find it difficult to keep any job that requires attention to detail. I have difficulties completing simple cut and paste operations. My bosses say that anyone should be able to do these tasks. I cannot.

I also have trouble concentrating, especially on long, detailed projects. I can figure out how to do them the first time, but cannot recreate that process a second or third time. This is very difficult when my supervisor would like to tell me once, show me once, and then have it be my responsibility.

The lack of ability to do this is incredibly frustrating and I am prone to outbursts of anger during these times, even though I am normally incredibly patient. Because of my lack of short term memory, I find that this happens often at work and when I am home, I want to sleep. My sleep has become more interrupted as of late.

My question is-because my concussions were so long ago, more than 18 years, and I am now an adult without health insurance, where do I go for help? Are there doctors who specifically treat this?
