YOUNG, M.D. Chairperson, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Rush University Medical Center Chicago, IllinoisEvery 21 seconds is the most honest book written by a TBI survivor that I have ever read. I am the mother of a 25-year old daughter who suffered the devastating effects of a traumatic brain injury three years ago and I believe I have read almost all of the books written on this topic.Author BRIAN D. SWEENEY grew up on the south side of Chicago. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, Brian has been the subject of countless articles regarding traumatic brain injury. Over the years he has worked with TBI survivors and their families. His goal has always been to open the doors of the all-too-often misunderstood world of life with a traumatic brain injury. His willingness to discuss the subject matter in an honest, eloquent, and, at times, comedic format exposes readers to a world very few know exists. Every 21 Seconds reveals how a brain injury affects survivors and dramatically changes the lives of those around them. This item is printed on demand.
