I have heard that a head injury/TBI occurs every 6 seconds in the USA. I think that this pertains to mild, mod., severe concussions, TBI. Not sure, though.

PS.-- The supposed number 1 brain injury facility for therapy and therapist training is in New York. Might want to google with that state first.
