Where do you put the band-aid on an invisible injury?

Raison d’etra
(The Reason For)

Malpractice might have been the theme of my book had I been more interested in money than my health. After an automobile accident, and serious injuries, the misdiagnoses of three physicians were perfect examples of the never acknowledged errors that resulted in permanent health, economic, and human relationship problems.
My personal experience is an example of a situation endemic in society today that can and must be corrected. THE HIDDEN INJURY explains why it took three years before I was diagnosed with a head injury, and the long years I kept trying, unsuccessfully, to regain my health. After much study I found that I had seventeen of thirty possible symptoms that could develop, making it impossible to return to normal , or what I felt was the "old me."
Resorting to filing a malpractice suit never occurred to me. I put all my energy and thoughts toward searching for the answers on how to return to normal. This proved to be a difficult, if not an impossible task, without a proper understanding of the problem and the pertinent medical information which at the time was not available. Years later, it turned out that I had been following inaccurate medical advice.
There is no alternative to getting the proper explanations from physicians.
The only alternative is doing your own research, but too often, is beyond the capability of most people suffering from this kind of injury. Without a correct diagnosis and proper medical instructions, the symptoms will continue to develop and become chronic.
When proper help is not available from the medical profession, and the patient continues to deteriorate, this may lead to a malpractice suit. Blaming attorneys will not correct the cause of the problem Proper medical information and help are a must.
Answering this question might help: “Why is the “bottom line” of the three professions … medical, legal, and insurance … more important for them than the “bottom line” of patients, clients, and insured individuals whose financial, and even more important, health lifetime “bottom-line deficit,” is to them? This is a lifetime effort if it even can be corrected. There is no medical Wall Street for the patient to make up their financial losses and overcoming their health problems, when this happens, it requires constant effort, faith and luck.
And so, THE HIDDEN INJURY is an effort to give readers the information that can help them try to avoid these negative results.
