Are TBIs being diagnosed accurately?
... In one study, for example, trauma centers missed mild TBIs in “over half” of patients, says Ronald Ruff, a clinical neuropsychologist and rehabilitation psychologist in San Francisco. Many TBI patients come to the hospital with multiple injuries, and if a patient answers “I'm fine” to doctors' curs ...
