Albany, NY – A life can change forever in the blink of an eye. One wrong step, one wrong turn, one bad hit could cause a traumatic brain injury. The severity of such an injury may range from mild to severe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 3.17 million Americans currently have a long-term or lifelong need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of a traumatic brain injury. On today's Health Show, we'll visit a center that uses creativity and compassion to try and reach a lost mind.

Then we'll hear about a British woman who is fighting for the rights of the terminally ill to get life prolonging drugs from the National Health.
