Diffuse Axonal Brain Injury

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury

Is a diffuse axonal brain injury worse than any other form of brain injury?

Keep fighting, Jules

“I want to write the way Australian Super-car driver, Craig Lowndes drives and power-slides his powerful V8 Holden Super-car… with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, yet combined with the artists craft and smooth style of a Jamie Whincup (craig’s team-mate), a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life.”

(thanks Craig and Jamie, for the great pleasure you give me watching “you guys” race here “across the ditch” on TV)

Craig and Jamie from http://v8supercarspetrolhead.wordpress.com/

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a Ride!”

A SHORT EXTRACT FROM MY BOOK ‘STIRLING’

Sharing some Information and Thoughts on Head and Brain Injury

A SHORT EXTRACT FROM MY BOOK ‘STIRLING’

THE FLICKERING cine film has all the compulsive horror of the footage of the John F. Kennedy assassination.

In a sickening blur of speed, the Walker Lotus 18/21 racing car leaves the track and bucks violently as it surges out of control over the rough verge and slams into a grassy bank.
The driver – with no modern safety harness to protect him – can be seen being bounced out of his seat in the last, terrifying moments before impact.
He is left clinging helplessly to the steering wheel, his feet unable to reach the pedals as he hurtles towards his doom.
Later, one observer would recall having seen a plume of fire shooting from the rear of the car ‘like a burst from a flame gun’. He would also describe the ‘spontaneous gasp of apprehension’ when the crowd realised disaster was imminent.
