New Year’s Eve 2005 was anything but happy for John Marchildon. A car crash in the early hours sent him to hospital with catastrophic brain injuries.
But then, incredibly, he began to rally. Three weeks later, the 42-year-old woke from a coma in St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto with no memory of the crash itself. On Valentine’s Day, he was transferred to Toronto Rehab.
It’s one of the most devastating of all injuries. In an instant, a traumatic brain injury can alter the lives of victims and their families. It can permanently change someone’s personality, affect their cognitive skills and rob them of their livelihood. Yet most people don’t realize how serious traumatic brain injury can be.
