Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath


#529
Title: Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath
Author: Michael Paul Masdon
Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
Year: 2009
314 pages

Light on science, long on condemnation of almost every medical professional and system except his own hospital. Rife with grammatical problems and incorrect usage. Head trauma is a serious and underserved phenomenon, but I've seen heroic and sustained efforts on behalf of people with TBIs, so has Mason. Instead, read Where is the Mango Princess?, which also indicts TBI health care, but with more specificity and better balance.
