Slow Bleed Into Brain / Brain Stem

[Mike S]

I would very much appreciate any information anyone can
supply on this. If a person is in a car accident with damage
to the back of their neck and 5-6 days later has four
strokes (two of them being in the brain stem itself)
possibly (probably?) due to torn veins and damaged arteries
in the back of the head causing a slow bleed into the brain
and / or brain stem - are there any known options other than
being sent home to die. Thank you!!! Mike

Sounds sorta like a DAI, too, doesn't it.

Personally, i'd rather have a brainstem injury and die
[quickly], than have frontal (or temporal) lobe damage
and survive.

Sadly, if the brain was healable (as with the rest of the
body's cells), science could do a lot more.

I pray for a day when all people must wear helmets while
driving automobiles.
