You might want to think about contacting your local chapter of the Brain Injury Association and ask if they can recommend doctors/specialists. The ones who involve themselves with Brain Injury Associations are more understanding and compassionate. I found my marvelous neuro-psychologist through my province's brain injury group.

Axons are incredibly tiny. Trying to image brain damage with an MRI is like trying get a detailed look at a distant galaxy with a pair of kid's binoculars.

When TBI patients' brains are examined after death, a lot of damage is found. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/18/sp...oncussion.html
