Veteran at the VA

Throughout my 25 plus years at utilizing the VA for medical and mental health care, I have educated at least three doctors, ten nurses, four physical therapists, and two occupational therapists about BPI. I bring in an information packet about BPI and strongly suggest that they read the information. I advocate with endless energy. My goal is to get people to understand that OBPI can be eliminated with the proper birthing procedure. Also, my mental heath team gets a dose of OBPI information.

It appears that BPI is not really studied compared to other injuries. Why is that? Is there any books on the subject of BPI?
It saddens me when I know more about the subject matter than a professional.

Being a Veteran has its peaks and valleys. But, I love my country no matter how chaotic is can be at times.

Keep Smiling and Do Not Give Up Hope!

8-) Keep up the good work,Tony!
No study has been done because OUR BIRTH INJURIES are never reported statically anywhere. (DR/delivery person caused.
The Myth riegns that "It's Just an arm" too. ...this is my 2 Cents anyway.
