Is it possible to be driving, working or cooking dinner and without warning, lose your memory and not be able to think effectively? I received a request from a hospital to evaluate one of their patients for possible referral to our traumatic brain injury rehabilitation program. The police had arrested this patient for driving under the influence and had brought her to the hospital emergency room because of her obvious serious medical condition.
