Traumatic brain injury (TBI) (click here) is a term used to describe people who
have had an external force to the head that in some way injures the
brain. It can therefore vary from a minor blow to the head with
transient dizziness or light headedness to a life changing brain injury
due to major trauma.
Because TBI covers such a wide range of injuries, its effects, symptoms, and prognoses vary. Each year, minor incidents of TBI happen to more than one million people in the United States. These minor injuries frequently result in the treatment and release from hospital emergency departments. Another 230,000 people are hospitalized each year with TBIs. Of these people, 99,000 will show a lasting disability....
Secretary Clinton would have been hospitalize ANYWAY.
I think the 'billable' code for Secretary Clinton's "Transient Visual Disturbance" is 2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 368.9(click here). I am sure the physicians involved have received their fees. These things happen.
