Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!
Here we go with Episode 135, Terry, the inspiration for the program will join us shortly along with today's guest Dr. Patrick Quaid
The conversation that we offer today is one of the most important ones yet in my view. Dr. Quaid is a leading authority in vision as it relates to Traumatic Brain injury and learning difficulties. He has gotten into this line of work based solely on his own concerns as he too is a TBI warrior. The through-line of all his work/career has been his studying of how the brain processes visual information
Dr. Quaid has lectured over 750 times world wide, has been an author of many research studies and books on the topic and is pretty adamant that the tag "Mild" needs to go away as it relates to head traumas.
In addition we discuss some alarming statistics around Traumatic Brain Injuries that need to get out into the forefront of society. One of significance is that 50% of children with learning difficulties are victims of a TBI and actually need help with their vision. If they did, the difficulties would go away.
Aside from listening into this conversation, you must click through all the resources offered in the show notes as well. There is a ton of additional important info available via links and just as importantly the studies we have discussed that are downloadable there.
Please take the time to listen to the entire episode even if it is in chunks and be sure to share with everyone you know in this world including your medical professionals!
