The Brain Trauma Foundation works tirelessly to help to decrease the rate of brain trauma injuries and to educate medical personnel about how to work with brain trauma victims.  Many people don’t realize that the permanent damage associated with brain trauma doesn’t happen instantaneously.  The ensuing hours and days after a brain injury greatly influence the outcome.
