In a public service announcement, Navy Cmdr. (Dr.) James Hancock, shares his experience as a shock trauma platoon doctor and a person who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) when the armored vehicle he was in hit an improvised explosive device.
Hancock discusses the importance of getting checked out if you have sustained a brain injury, whether in a blast, a car or fall. Resources such as the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) are available to help and support those who’ve sustained a traumatic brain injury. The center has an extensive network that provides health care and education for service members and veterans with TBI.
Not only does the DVBIC website connect military members with information on care and recovery, but their families and friends can find information that relates to the caregiver. For clinicians and providers, check out training information, clinical tools and educational materials.
To learn more about TBI and find out how to get help near you, go to www.DVBIC.org or call 800-870-9244.
