Month: July 2014

My guests tonight will be Dr. Bart Billings, Retired as US Army Medical Service Corp Officer serving 34 years in US Army, his highest ranking as Colonel. He was Director/Founder International Civilian & Military Combat Stress Conference & Recipient of Human Rights Award for 2014 from CCHR International. See his site at bbillings@omnisonic.com.

Dr. Chrisanne Gordon, who has experienced TBI revocery both as a physician and patient. She released a documentary called Operation Resurrection, and went on to found www.resurrectinglives.org to help our Veteran Heroes.

Tonight along with open mic to hear about your requests for programming, sharing what’s on your bean, or just kicking back and listening to the great music! Not to mention new host try outs if you think you’d like your own show. We are going to have a perhaps spirited conversion about TBI Survivors, who are arrested and then denied due process.

I had an interesting call from a listening this morning, where we discussed the unfortunately plight of her husband. He is a survivor who has an arraignment coming right up, and it appears it could be a travesty of justice. If you think so after hearing the scoop, then write, call or send me communication … Weighning in on your thoughts. Our survivor’s advocate may be able to use information from this show, to help in the defense of her loved one.

Janelle Breese, RPC, is an author, speaker, and counselor with expertise in grief, loss, life transitions, and brain injury. She resides with her family in Victoria, BC. She is the author of A Change of Mind: One Family’s Journey through Brain Injury and the soon to be released book, Life Losses: Healing for a Broken Heart.

The hosts work hard all week, so now it’s your turn to bring the show to us! Call in and talk about what’s on your mind, and listen to some great Indy music.

Hope the camping hosts are having fun! While they’re away…Let’s play, play, play!! 🙂

Carole Starr, M.S. is the founder and facilitator of the Maine-based volunteer group Brain Injury Voices. Carole sustained a brain injury in a car accident in 1999, which changed her life dramatically. Her inspirational keynote speech “Never Give up on Happiness” has been well received by brain injury survivors, medical professionals and students. In 2010, Carole co-founded the volunteer group Brain Injury Voices, to give fellow survivors the opportunity to “pay it forward” and make a difference as educators, advocates and mentors. This year, the American Hospital Association recognized Voices’ impact and awarded them their prestigious Hospital Award for Volunteer Excellence. The only brain injury group to ever receive the award. For more: www.braininjuryvoices.org.

When something burst inside David’s head, both Donna and David’s lives changed forever. Before each of David’s three brain surgeries, Donna had only one request of David’s surgeons. She implored, “I don’t care how you give David back to me, just give him back to me.” David did return to Donna, but as a different person. Donna fell in love all over again with this newer version of her husband. David’s TBI resulted in a “fork in the road” for both David and Donna.

Her new show will be coming in August on 1st & 3rd Monday at 5pm pac/8pm est. Learn more about Donna at her blogs: www.donnaodonnellfigurski.wordpress.com AND www.survivingtraumaticbraininjury.com

Her book, Brain Injury Survival Kit, 365 Tips, Tools and Tricks to Deal with Cognitive Function Loss, was released in late summer, 2008 and one of her stories was included in the recently released Chicken Soup for the Soul, Recovering From Traumatic Brain Injuries.
