• Ensure that you are receiving the care and medical attention you need to promote recovery and avoid aggravation of trauma to the brain.

• Review or, if necessary, set up your case management plan to address all physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of your treatment and rehabilitation.
• Make sure that all necessary tests are performed to identify and document the full range of neuropsychological deficits related to a closed head or penetrative injury that results in moderate brain damage or severe loss of cognitive function.
• Double check neuro-diagnostic test findings that identify specific brain functions within normal ranges.
• Project your future surgical, treatment, and rehabilitative needs, to the greatest degree of medical certainty possible.
