SUVh8r,

I would not make a connection between what happens after we pass away and brain trauma.

Impacts to different areas of the head can cause different effect in basic motor functions and memory. Brain Trauma is actual physical damage to the brain that could have resulted in different ways. Depending on severity of the damage done a person may have signs of memory loss, slowed ability to process information, trouble concentrating, word finding problems and unable to do more than one thing at a time.

Recovery from brain trauma can occur almost immediately in some cases, while others will never experience full recovery from brain trauma. The nature of the head injury, extent of damages, and quality of initial medical treatment influence recovery from brain trauma.

Different brain trauma rehabilitation methods are used depending upon the severity of injury and individual goals of the person. Brain trauma rehabilitation for a mildly injured person, for instance, may focus on resumption of all normal tasks; brain trauma rehabilitation for severely injured people will usually have much different goals. The methods and goals of brain trauma rehabilitation also differ depending upon the age of the person, with a child

Why would you want to kiss a hooker in the first place? Just imagine how many members they have had in there.

1) What is the meaning of life?

2) Name three jobs, that are not doctor, lawyer, analyst, or programmer.

3) Why does a soufle' fall when there is a loud noise? Is it the noise or the impact?

Hey Monk,

Excellent observations about brain trama. Believe it or not brain trama can actually occour without an impact. For example: while in an a auto accident when the seatbelt prevents your head from hitting anything. The brain actually has it's own "crash" inside your head. Uh...don't ask how I know this.

So, why do some guys like to kiss hookers?
