There weren 597,000 bicycle related traumatic brain injuries treated in emergency hospitals in the US alone.

About 30 years ago, I was riding my bicycle when I collided with a
dentist and his Pontiac going in the opposite direction. He ran the
stop sign while I was on the wrong side of the road. I slid over the
Pontiac hood, bounced off the windshield, again slid over the hood in
the opposite direction, and landed on my back in the roadway. I don't
recall if I was wearing a helmet. Probably not. An ambulance
appeared from somewhere. I was strapped to a backboard and delivered
to the ER at a local hospital. While still strapped to the backboard,
the CHP (California Highway Patrol) arrived and handed me an expensive
traffic ticket. They ran a CT scan, didn't find anything interesting
and released me. By this time, the muscles in my back went on strike
and painfully refused to cooperate. There was no mention or
indications of a brain injury.
Fast forward about 4 years and I'm doing computer service for the
hospital in the ER. (The ER was moved 3 times in 4 or 5 years). I
looked at my records and found that they showed that I had experienced
a TBI (traumatic brain injury). My best guess(tm) is that someone had
"reviewed" my records and made a "correction".
PS Half a million brain injuries ? Is this over a month?
No wonder they voted wrong.
I'd vote wrong if I had a brain injury.

Not a month.

Obviously. I was joking.
"That which is obvious, beyond any need of checking, is usually
wrong."
"Assumption. The mother of all mistakes".
"When someone claims they're joking, take a closer look to see what
they're hiding".
