About Dr. Diane

Dr. Diane's Story:
On March 5, 1990, Diane's life was suddenly transformed. Driving home after visiting a cancer patient, she suffered a cerebral bleed (an aneurysm, a type of stroke), and became unconscious at the wheel of her automobile and was involved in a 60 mph head-on auto accident. Five months later, Dr. Diane had open skull, brain surgery to remove the cause of the stroke, which was a growth on her brain (a cavernous hemangioma).

A successful health practitioner (who managed a private practice of 7 therapists and 250 patients), she was now thrust in the role of brain injured patient and found herself fighting for survival. From her experience and expertise, she wrote "Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury," the first comprehensive guide to brain trauma and its hidden effects.

Dr. Diane understands and appreciates the role of a caregiver, because she was actively involved in the care of both her mother and one of her sons who sustained brain injuries. Dr. Diane's mother has had several strokes plus two concussions, while her son sustained three concussions causing him to have loss of his memory (amnesia) for more than four hours. Read more >
