I've only seen one episode of One Tree Hill and the only thing I remember about it was that Moira Kelly was playing someone's mom and I kept waiting during the whole episode for her to say "Toe Pick!".

is not up to her previous investment-banking career

The article says she was a piano teacher.

So, for those knowledgable about Philly, what are the cute neighborhoods, that are kinda suburby? Would looking into New Jersey be better?

Aha, NOT the Central Park Jogger. A different woman raped and beaten about the head and left for dead in Central Park. How cheery. Here's the Central Park Jogger [link]

Glass half full? Barely a quarter full and that's arsenic!

Dude, there's a reason why I'm alternating between "The Worst Day Since Yesterday" and "Grace of God Go I" today. Flogging Molly understands my curmudgeonly angst!

the general public vastly underestimates the damage with head injuries, and Oliver Sacks essays underscored that

The general public also underestimates the extent to which Oliver Sacks is a good wrtier, but a terrible doctor. (This is according to my neurologist uncle who foams at the mouth whenever Sacks' name comes up, and an ex-patient friend of my sister's. The reason my sister's friend is now an ex-patient is because he was kicked out of the office for having a seizure in the waiting room. As in, he was waiting for an appointment, he started to have a seizure in the waiting room, and Sacks called security.)

Head Trauma Information

In brief...it depends. Penetrating injury or not. How much pressure in the brain after the trauma and for how long. Which part of the head got whacked and whether there's nerve damage in there.

I think we can rate him as a Mild-to-Severe head injury, though, from what we know. And as Trudy suggests...

The treatment of TBI has undergone significant change in the last 20 years.

Prognosis:

The Traumatic Coma Data Bank analyzed 780 patients with head injuries and identified 5 factors that correlated with a poor outcome, as follows: (1) age older than 60 years, (2) initial GCS score of less than 5, (3) presence of a fixed dilated pupil, (4) prolonged hypotension or hypoxia early after injury, and (5) presence of a surgical intracranial mass lesion.

Along the Main Line is nice but pricey. We lived in Bryn Mawr, though there are plenty of places along the main line where you could live and living as far out as Wayne wouldn't be undoable if you planned on commuting by SEPTA). My BATT's family lived in Bala Cynwyd for a bit (which I think is where Billytea lived), Mount Airy (which I loved) and Fairmount. All of those are suburbany.

Is this true? That's so... whoa.

Very true. A famous case, and well known around the Bay Area which is crawling with Gettys.

Okay, all this head trauma stuff is freaking me out and I need to be elsewhere.

Which surprises me.
