In the case of Mike Smith, I believe that both Dr. Carter and Dr. Green made correct initial predictions of Mike’s injured area. I became more convinced that Mike’s symptoms were due to damage of both the brain and spinal cord especially after examining his summary of diagnostic testing results. The reason I say the brain is damaged is because, although his speech, counting, memory, and organization of thoughts are not affected, his vision is. Therefore, the section in Mike’s brain that is responsible for vision, the Thalamus, was clearly affected by the accident. Plus, the sensation in his touch and temperature did not disappear completely but they definitely declined. Other than this, I believe the rest of his conditions were due to damage …show more content…
In addition to this, a statement in the diagnostic summary under the x-Ray and MRI examination shows that his spinal cord was impacted more than his brain by stating that “No fractures present in the skull.” and “Fracture in the 7th cervical vertebra.” Furthermore, the central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord, and these two systems are directly related. Signals are sent through the nerves in the spinal cord to communicate with the brain and vice versa. Therefore, it is extremely common that when an individual encounters an accident that the central nervous system as a whole is harmed. The brain and spinal cord work as a team, this does not mean that it is not possible that only one system is effected, I am just saying that it is very common/easy for both to be wounded at the same time. This knowledge is another reason why I strongly believe that Mike Smith has brain and spinal cord injury. However, if it were true that Mike only had a brain injury than the results would include something about his speech and memory loss being abnormal, along with no comments about his spinal cord. And on the other hand, if the diagnosis were to show only a spinal cord injury than his right eye would not have an abnormal pupil response nor would he show a
Marvin Anderson is a man who was falsely accused of abduction, rape, robbery, and sodomy. This is his story. On July 17, 1982, a young woman was raped by a black man whom she said was a total stranger. After she reported the crime, a police officer singled out Anderson as a suspect because the perpetrator had told the victim that he “had a white girl,” and Anderson was the only black man the officer knew who lived with a white woman. Because Anderson had no criminal record, the officer went to Anderson’s employer and obtained a color employment photo identification card. The victim was shown the color identification card, along with six black-and-white mug shots, and identified Anderson as her assailant. Within an

It’s always good to start investing money at an early age, however, it’s a hard start. Many banks have improved interest rates as well as no opening fees to start a savings account. Stocks, such as health and technology are also currently going up. Billy should start by saving small amounts of money per week for two years and placing it in a savings account. He should also buy health and tech stocks, such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), and keep a diversified portfolio, along with buying bonds.
Pre-offense information related to this case includes the relationship the victims had with the offender. If the offender was Brent Smith as is believed then Tracy Smith’s relationship to the offender is that she was Brent Smith’s soon to be ex-wife and the mother of his two children Reagan and Eion. Keeping with the suspected offender Brent Smith, Karen Green’s relationship with the offender was through Tracy’s relationship with him as Karen was Tracy’s former mother-in-law. Karen Green also cared for Tracy and Brent’s children while Tracy was at work as they were living with Karen during the time of the offense. Victim selection occurred based on the interactions the victims had with the offender.
20. A patient was in an automobile accident and is complaining of a minor headache and no other apparent injuries. History gathered from bystanders states that the patient was not wearing a seat belt and hit his head on the windshield. A 15-minute loss of consciousness was noted. The patient was then admitted for 24-hour observation to rule out head injury. A comprehensive history and exam are performed by the physician. The MDM is of moderate complexity.

Considering potential damage to the spine of a trauma victim within the overall treatment of a patient is vital when preventing any secondary injury. As stated in the ARC Guideliness,1 symptoms and signs of a spinal injury can include pain in the injured region, paralysis, nausea, headaches, dizziness, absent skin sensation, an abnormal head or neck position, an associated head injury, an altered conscious state, difficulties breathing or loss of function in limbs. Falls in the elderly population or a significant blow to the head are also commonly recognised as causing spinal damage.1 As an elderly woman with a substantial blow to the head and an altered state of consciousness, the patient should be treated as having a suspected

Patient is a 50-year-old-year-old left-handed white male who presents with his wife for evaluation of multiple symptoms that have been present since an MVA in 02/2013. At that time, he was T. boned and his car was totaled. He has amnesia for the event and is unaware whether or not he hit his head. The airbag did deploy. Afterwards, he was confused and noted significant pain in his neck and upper back. Since then, he has had multiple symptoms. He does have involuntary twitching on the right, more than left, both hands, legs, and sometimes feet. He demonstrates one of these twitches and it looks like a focal myoclonic jerk of a limb. These occur on a daily basis. He also has problems with his left thumb and index finger locking up. When he is fatigued, especially when his neck gets tight, he has some problems with word finding, paraphasic errors, and syntax errors. He did see Anthony P. Knox,
The skull fracture and the epidural hematoma are on his forebrain, specifically on the left temporal lobe. His subdural hematoma is on his hindbrain, specifically on his cerebellum.
Jason Hendrix is a young 21 year old male, who was injured in a one vehicle motorcycle accident. On the scene of the accident he was found conscious and complaining of lower back pain. Emergency Personnel recognized it as a series spinal injury. The spinal cord allows neural pathways to and from the brain. The spinal cord is very delicate, therefore it is covered in meninges for protection. It contains many different aspects in order to function. The spinal cord has 4 different regions including the cervical spine, the thoracic spine, the lumbar spine and the sacral. With that said, Spinal reflex is produced by a single synapse between sensory axons and motor neurons. If the spinal cord endures any type of injury this is compromised. Any type
It is also unclear if it is the brain injury itself that causes the result and if it is the same for healthy people.
