Life Beyond Brain Injury Details
Tom suffered a massive brain injury when his vertebral artery was dissected during what should have been a routine chiropractic appointment. The moment the artery was damaged, Tom's world began spinning violently as if the Earth had snapped of its axis. Tom crashed to the floor, uncoordinated and flailing as his body went into shock. The chiropractor refused to call an ambulance for more than two hours and repeatedly manipulated Tom's damaged neck – doctors later explained that any of these manipulations could have severed the damaged artery and killed Tom on the spot. When other patients became frightened by Tom's graphic symptoms and started leaving the clinic, the chiropractor abandoned Tom on the floor, incapacitated and in the care of a young receptionist with no medical training. An ER doctor then overlooked the severe vertigo, loss of coordination, and other obvious signs of brain trauma. This doctor also failed to order a brain scan and sent Tom home with a dangerously swollen, bleeding brain. Two days passed, and Tom was misdiagnosed at the ER again and nearly died before a large regional medical center finally diagnosed the life-threatening brain injury caused by the chiropractor. But by that point, major brain damage had occurred, and Tom had a very long road ahead of him.
