As if the decision to withdraw life support for patients with traumatic brain injuries weren't excruciating enough, a small modeling study suggests that it has at times been withdrawn too early.

Flown to Vancouver with a broken neck, Schober, then 66, spent 7 months adapting to life as a #quadriplegic.

He became one of the 1st #SeriousInjury #victims subject to the #BCgovernment’s #NoFault #insurance, introduced May 1, 2021.
