Blast Injury and TBI

The war in Iraq will be no different in producing a "signature wound" only this time the wound is in the brains of those affected. Medical experts are witnessing an emerging and significant increase in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In other words, the Iraq war could produce a generation of veterans with life changing brain injury, affecting thousands of service men and women from all walks of life across the country.
