Aside from the odd big-budget radio play, most seemed to involve overwrought acting, expositionary dialogue and some poor sap creaking door hinges next to a microphone. Now, though, not only are audio dramas enjoying a new lease of life online, they have a new name: fiction podcasts. In this brave new world, the production is sharp and nuanced, the writing fresh and the cast are not plucked from the nearest am-dram production but from Hollywood.
Explanation Acquired brain injury is damage to the brain that occurs after birth. It is not related to a congenital disorder, a developmental disability or a progressive process or disease. It may be caused by traumatic injury, anoxia (an absence of oxygen) or encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain).
A severe brain injury is usually defined as a condition where the patient has been in a coma for 6 hours or more, or has PTA of over 24 hours and may require a long period of intensive care or neurosurgery.
