- W281095929 abstract "I am a 1980 honors graduate of Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing and a strong concentration in the foreign languages of French, German, and Spanish. I was subsequently employed by the Cutler-Hammer Products division of the Eaton Corporation as an area sales engineer in Seattle, Washington. This developed as a challenging, successful career and I was promoted and transferred to southern California in 1982. Hy life path abruptly and unexpectedly changed on May 15, 1983 when I was involved in a car accident that resulted in a closed head injury. Other than a single broken collarbone, the physical damage was isolated to the brain tissue within the skull. Primary, life-saving medical care was received at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. I physically stabilized after nine weeks in coma and was able to be transferred by air ambulance to my parents' hometown of Great Falls, Montana. The comatose state endured for another four weeks, so the clinically reported length of time in coma is twelve weeks. The extent and completeness of my recovery is considered miraculous by medical practitioners and clinicians. Except for a brief stay in Spokane, Washington at Sacred Heart Medical Center for independent living skills training, my comprehensive rehabilitation has taken place in Great Falls under the direction of physiatrist Dr. Bill Tacke and a capable team of therapists at the Montana Deaconess Regional Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Tacke is the medical director of this program. These practitioners were my initial inspiration for graduate preparation in human services. They guided me with expertise and caring in the redirection and refocus of life plans and supported and encouraged my efforts at every step of the way. One of the major goals of this recovery was the completion of the Master of Human Services program at the College of Great Falls. I completed the program requirements for the Master of Human Services curriculum from the College of Great Falls recently with the oral defense of my final project, Survival, Struggle, and Success. This degree was earned under a general emphasis with program content derived from elderly, community, counseling, rehabilitation, and social service course-work. As a portion of my preparation, practicums were completed with a private rehabilitation counseling company, the state rehabilitative services division, and a facility providing rehabilitation services. Each was very vocationally oriented and I gained a degree of insight to these services by approaching it in this manner that presented an inside-looking out view of the industry to complement my client views. I was selected at the completion of my second internship with the state in Fall 1988 to be the recipient of the Significant Achievement Award for the first annual Great Falls DisAbility Day in recognition of this design and the successful management of a comprehensive rehabilitation. My study of rehabilitation science has confirmed the importance of pre-injury characteristics and background. These traits form the foundation upon which a rehabilitation program develops. I credit my parents with laying the firm foundation of strengths that were an asset in the recovery process. They were a steady, continuous source of support and encouragement that never lagged during this arduous rehabilitation process. I personally take enormous pleasure in beating the odds and am convinced that this victory is energizing and a primary motivator. I also firmly believe and publicly promote that as personally invigorating as the success of my story is, it should not be regarded as a fluke. It occurred only through direct intention, detailed planning and identification of goals tempered with realism, professional guidance and counseling, and careful follow-through of the plans. My rehabilitation is replicable. With the path laid in the 1980s, I hope to contribute to the sciences of the direction and management of medical challenges in the decade of the 1990s. …" @default.
