“We’re really at an infant stage in terms of our clinical ability to assess traumatic brain injury,” a medical expert said.
Before he ended his life, Ryan Larkin made his family promise to donate his brain to science.
The 29-year-old Navy SEAL was convinced years of exposure to blasts had badly damaged his brain, despite doctors telling him otherwise. He had downloaded dozens of research papers on traumatic brain injury out of frustration that no one was taking him seriously, his father said.
“He knew,” Frank Larkin said. “I’ve grown to understand that he was out to prove that he was hurt, and he wasn’t crazy.”
In 2017, a postmortem study found that Ryan Larkin, a combat medic and instructor who taught SEALs how to breach buildings with explosives, had a pattern of brain scarring unique to service members who’ve endured repeated explosions.
Yeah. That’s pretty far from relevant though. You’re argument seems to be a doctor can’t figure out the difference between a rational human who can comprehend, understand, think and correlate what they’ve read, compared to physical symptoms they know intimately, and the blinker fluid tards
Except for the fact that everybody thinks they are a “rational human” when indeed they are the “blinker fluid tard”.
These doctors really are too dumb to tell the difference huh?
They don’t care. They have to contend with hundreds of people who think they are the shit because they googled their symptoms. They are there to diagnose, not you.
So what hospital do you work at?
Exactly my point, except the last part. Someone’s gotta do their job, they won’t.
