It's a "wonderful life" State

The CDC has reported that automobile accidents are the second cause of brain damage. Since 2004, the rate of traumatic brain injury has grown at a rate of 6.3% Adolescents in the group 15 to 19 males are the second most at risk, my hypothesis on why they are the second most at risk is simply due to the fact that new drivers aren’t as cautious as they would like their parental units to believe. It’s been said that when a person is unconscious due to trauma, the brain triggers memories of a person’s life before the accident. I’ve only seen this done in shows and movies hence the title. In reality, it’s only been done twice. Otherwise when the clock runs out of time, game is over. Sam Schmid was one who beat the buzzer. Congresswoman Gifford would come out to be a buzzer-beater herself. One cannot help but wonder what it is about the folks in Arizona that have this incredible luck when it comes to facing the “buzzer”, The measure of time someone has on the earthly plain depends if they’ve learned the lessons they’re supposed to while here. No one knows who exactly is watching the clock either; one has to be their own moral compass.

The 21-year- old was University Of Arizona student was in a critical condition when he was admitted to Barrow Neurological Institute after having been involved in a car accident on October 19, 2011. The business major suffered a brain aneurysm and amid other injuries was surviving merely on life support after the surgery to remove the first critical threat to his health.. With not so much as REM(Rapid Eye Movement) measured on the MRI, the doctor must have the painful quality of life conversation with his parents and leaves them to decide what should be done with his organs. because just as the painful decision was made to take him off life support, Sam was able to hold up two fingers to signify life in what doctors concluded was a lifeless shell, wasn’t lifeless at all. “It may not seem like a lot to you," Spetzler said. "It's an incredible loop to show brain ability. That was like fireworks going off." One cannot imagine the joy the news brought the Schmid family to hear that Sam would need his organs after all. Right now, I'm feeling all right ... except for the rehabilitation, I'm feeling pretty good," Schmid said

After one goes through a life-changing traumatic event such as that had to be for the entire family, it’s completely psychologically healthy to want to grief for a person they used to be. Schmid isn’t ready to hear it yet, but no matter how much rehabilitation the body goes through, things will never go back to the “normal” (before the accident normal he wants)Schmid will grieve as he should, but you have to get back to the definition of normal in which you can be comfortable within yourself.. They’re people who won’t get to spend Christmas with the ones they love this year and for those, they’re stuck with pictures and memories of the last time their loved one graced their doorway . Rehab is a tough road, but at least it’s a road Schmid is fortunate to take.
