The Radius TBI Story

A Life-Changing Incident

Radius TBI began from a deeply personal experience, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive care for individuals living with traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

Radius TBI Story
How it all began

The story begins with J., a dedicated medical assistant who is highly respected by her colleagues and doctors. However, everything changed one fateful day when she was involved in a car accident that left her with a seemingly minor head injury – a T-bone collision that jolted her head against the side window. Little did she know that this incident would mark the beginning of a life-altering journey.

After the accident, J. underwent a thorough examination, including a brain CT scan and X-rays at a nearby hospital. Thankfully, the results did not reveal any alarming issues, such as a brain bleed. However, what went unnoticed was the presence of a concussion, either undiagnosed or underdiagnosed.

Over the next few months, J. sought help from various specialists, including orthopedics and neurosurgeons, and diligently underwent physical therapy for her neck and back injuries. But there was a critical aspect of her condition that remained overlooked – her concussion.

With tears in her eyes, she confessed,
"Something is not right with me; I don't understand what is happening to me."

— J. —

Emotionally distressed and struggling with work mistakes, focus, concentration, and memory issues, J. finally approached a director at her medical office. With tears in her eyes, she confessed, “Something is not right with me; I don’t understand what is happening to me.” Her personal life crumbled, relationships strained, and the life she once knew slipped away.

In her quest for answers, J. faced the harsh reality of limited resources for understanding and treating brain injuries, not just in her local community but globally. This months-long journey led her to a neurologist, but even in that professional setting, there were not much of available resources for a comprehensive concussion/ TBI program. This lack of support left J. feeling stranded and helpless.

Consider someone like J. – initially appearing normal, but their condition gradually deteriorates without proper diagnosis and treatment. Forgetfulness, decreased hearing, sleep disturbances, and personality changes become a daily struggle. Irritability, argumentativeness, and emotional outbursts further isolate them from friends and family. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD become constant companions, leading to social withdrawal. Some may even turn to drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms, further complicating their lives.

This silent epidemic affects individuals who may eventually find themselves homeless or incarcerated. Startling research indicates that a significant percentage of these populations, ranging from 70-80%, have a history of traumatic brain injury. It is this alarming statistic that drives Radius TBI’s mission to raise awareness in the community.
