I discuss something  that is likely to present itself to a physician long after the fact: a single mild brain injury.  This episode focuses on how to classify the severity of a single brain injury.  While working in a brain injury unit, I noticed that some providers used the term severe brain injury when referring patients to neurology or neuropsychiatry, and this communicates something very specific that they may not realize they are communicating. Those of us seeing a patient after a brain injury may not know the specific terminology to use, so this episode is meant to help the listener understand how brain injury experts classify these injuries.
