This story reminds me of the stories coming out of Iraq about soldiers who were badly shaken in IED attacks. Basically, the stories talked about how so many soldiers go through IED attacks, suffer what amounts to severe concussions, and later develop severe emotional disorders. I saw a news story about it and a doctor basically said that science is now discovering that all sorts of strange emotional and behavior problems result from severe concussive blasts, head trauma, etc.

I think you probably right SGG, hurry up and get back in there, your getting paid big bucks. We don't REALLY care about your health or what happens down the road....long term effects. They need to get some outside medical opinions, (NON BIAS M.D's) and LISTEN to them, on this serious issue.
I look foward to catching this piece.
