The Brain Injured
Studies carried out by research physicians at Cornell and Columbia universities in New York and Georgetown University showed remarkable evidence of the potentiality for brain injured victims to hear and understand the voices of close family members.
The findings have ramifications for the Terri Schiavo case.The study reveals a level of awareness and subtle interpretative abilities within serverly brain injured patients. According to Dr. Paul Ranalli, a neurologist at the University of Toronto the results may offer some families hope of improved prognosis for eventual recovery, and may be crucial to directing new methods of therapy to help these patients recover to the best of their abilities.
