Classification of (TBI) Brain Injury to that of a Disease
Classification of (TBI) Brain Injury to that of a Disease: If a reclassification of (TBI) brain injury from an injury classification to a disease classification will result in additional needed services for people with brain injuries, then, if the larger medical community reaches a consensus that this is a medically sound classification, we are not opposed, as long as this reclassification does not result in any further stigmatization of people with brain injuries and does not cause any reduction or loss of services to people with brain injuries.
