Recovered
traumatic brain injury (TBI) victim, business owner, and Route 66 enthusiast Dan Rice has authored a new autobiography about his road to recovery after suffering
brain damage in a serous 2002
car accident, according to the
Business Wire website. The near-fatal crash left Rice with an undiagnosed
TBI, significantly altering his perceptions of reality and putting a stop to his Hollywood career and goal of obtaining a Ph.D. in Psychology. In the autobiography, titled
End of the Trail, Rice uses the economic ups and downs associated with the famous Route 66 as an analogy for his journey through the psychological pain of undiagnosed injury and final road to recovery. Candidly describing his bouts with depression, anger, mental struggles, and suicidal thoughts, the author aims to raise awareness of
traumatic brain injury, the public's misunderstanding of it, and possible treatment options. Now, eight years after the tragic accident, Rice's achievements give hope to other TBI victims: he is the president of retailer 66-to-Cali Inc. and the recipient of the Will Rogers 2010 New Business of the Year Award.
Although Rice experienced significant recovery, many victims of
traumatic brain injury suffer life-long illness or cognitive problems as a result of
brain damage, especially when proper treatment is not obtained. For help obtaining necessary medical care and financial compensation so you or your loved one can focus on getting better rather than worrying about how to pay bills, feel free to
