What Causes Difficulty In Expressing Thoughts And Answering Questions After Accident?
Hi, my brother had an accident where he fell on his head from a moving car and was unconscious for several hours. He was transported to a hospital and while he is awake and show vital signs, he does not express himself clearly and can not answer questions. He is away from the country right now so I can t get news quickly and I am very worried for him.
