He was not wearing a helmet. He was in a coma for 3 weeks and then began inpatient rehab. It has been two years since his injury and he is frustrated with his progress in therapy. He is physically fit and has mostly reached his PT goals. However, he finds it difficult to focus at work, frequently getting distracted and losing his train of thought. He’s thinking about becoming a respiratory therapist because he’s good with machines and people, but he doesn’t know if he can focus enough to study for tests. His physiatrist is recommending speech therapy but he is skeptical because he doesn’t see how speech therapy relates to being able to study.  46:14 - Considerations for Return to Work/School After Brain InjuryReturning to work/school is usually a primary goal for the brain injury survivor.
