If you follow my personal blog, you will know that I’ve recently gotten into an op-ed piece on the impact brain injuries have in our society and lives. It’s a very deserving topic that is very complicated and deep. It ranges from the medical fields and neurology to society’s perceptions and touches on many things in between. Recently I’ve been in contact with a few survivors, advocates, and care-givers. I’d like to share their stories with you in their entirety and in their own words, so we’re putting them up on Insanitek Ink for everyone to learn about their experiences from.
Once the piece is done, I will post it up here on Insanitek as well as run op-ed pieces in various newspapers, online magazines, and anywhere else I can find that will hear their stories. Until then, this is a placeholder post that will be referenced as an index to all the stories and the posts I write as well. Without much ado, here is the index to the stories, which will be updated as they are written and posted.
