When I read that Kentucky’s rates for brain injury is more than twice the national average, it didn’t seem right. Wouldn’t something so widespread garner a lot of attention? I can’t remember the last time someone warned me about brain injury, yet it is twice as common as HIV, breast cancer, spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis combined.
