I have known several people who recovered well from brain injuries but it was a long process, with some set-backs along the way.
The other thing I wonder about is whether or not this advanced treatment she is receiving is available to GIs with similar injuries. I hope it is.
I doubt it. Their ghost writer wrote that Giffords has seen other people, including vets, dropped by their insurance, at the hospital where she is.
Anyone who were coached and trained daily, the way she is, could have a chance to sound as good as she does (relatively).
She had zero compassion or concern when the vast majority of the people in her district (based on phone calls, town halls, protests, and emails) opposed Communist Care. She, the elite, knew much better than we did.
Now, she's receiving the finest care in the world. It's the kind none of the rest of us (mere taxpaying peasants) will ever, ever, ever get -- since she helped corral us into DeathCare.
