Military leaders pushed to address traumatic brain injury
Posted on Thursday, July 15th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Senators and lawmakers are pushing military leaders to improve what they are doing for soldiers that are suffering from traumatic brain injury and other wounds after returning from the war.
This discussion occurred at a hearing for the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senators said that an improvement in medical and behavioral issues with troops is something that can not be avoided.
It was reported earlier this month that many soldiers were being misdiagnosed with their brain injuries. Figures show that more that 115,000 soldiers have suffered from mild traumatic brain injury since 2002. These brain injuries can cause problems with concentration, memory and other cognitive functions.
