What the writers do, and we hopefully can bring to life, is that they present characters who, on the surface, aren't always heroic and their acts aren't always devoid of selfishness.

All we can do now is try to prevent secondary damage by relieving pressure on the brain caused by the initial injury. There is no reparative treatment for traumatic brain injury.

Every breath of air we take is coming from the ocean.

O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
