Life After Acquired Brain Injury
Dora Camp
No One is Immune!
As a result of strokes, aneurysms, brain tumors, auto accidents, and common falls, more than two million people suffer brain injuries each year, making acquired brain injury (ABI) a leading cause of disability. Norm Camp suffered a massive coronary attack that stopped his heart; by the time paramedics could reach him, his oxygen-deprived brain had suffered considerable damage. In minutes, the active skier, golfer, cyclist, tennis player, and vice president of a research and development company had lost the most basic skills: Norm could no longer speak, eat, walk, read, or bathe. Determined to help her husband recover a full and productive life, Dora Camp became his primary caregiver, and thus began a seven-year journey through a well-meaning healthcare system that was ill prepared to handle brain-injured individuals.
“A story of success, love, tragedy, hope, and rebirth of the human spirit. Dora is the embodiment of the Good Samaritan. She has provided what all brain- and soul-injured sufferers need: helping hands, a smiling face, joy, encouragement, and respect. We all must follow her example.”
— Glen Harper, M.D., Neurologist, and brain-injury survivor
“Very inspirational, and a great resource for the families of those with traumatic brain injury. I have spent many years treating this population, and this book gave me new insight into what family members go through while their loved ones are recovering.”
— Jan Adduci, Manager, Glendale Adventist Medical Center, Rehabilitative Medical Services
