Congresswoman Gifford's Brain Injury
Congresswoman Gifford is making an amazing recovery from the injury she suffered earlier this year. The gunshot wound to her head is not an typical brain injury and her recovery is extraordinary. Many injuries of this type will make recovery impossible. The best one can usually hope for is some type of communication after months of therapy. In Ms. Gifford's case, she has made great improvements in a short period of time. She has been using an Ipad and has begun to speak with friends and family. It is unclear as to how much more recovery she will make in the future, but it appears that she may actually make an almost complete recovery. Medicine and treatment for such injuries has improved to the level where such a recovery would not have been possible twenty years ago.
Treatment of any time of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is expensive to say the least. Many people with no insurance have to rely on government funds and support to get the bare bones treatment needed for some recovery. Even private insurance at times will come with a maximum amount of reimbursement for treatment. At times there may be a potential for a lawsuit to recovery for the injury, but this will only be a portion of the money necessary for proper treatment.
