A comment on Michael Sincic: Brain Injury Survivor & Artist

Mark Bello — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:10:33 GMT

Tim: Thanks for sharing this inspirational story of courage in overcoming disability. Many elements of our society think that our tort system is a method of compensating malingerers and fakes. Serious injuries cause serious consequences to some terrific people who are left to perservere at less than full capacity. Your post does not indicate how the injury occurred or whether Michael was a client of yours and received compensation, but an injury can happen, in a split second, to anyone, with life-changing consequences. Congratualations to Michael for overcoming this adversity and thank you for bringing his story to our attention. Enjoy the conference and give Michael my best. Regards, Mark

The sharing and collective pooling of knowledge, insight and research offers a brighter future for survivors, families and others. A concept that has been long over due. Collectively there will be challenges, but the end result will be worth it; "A greater understanding of such a disabling and often invisible injury". Advancing our understanding together has great potential.

Together we can do anything. This is such a wonderfully motivational project! It is so important to work together to develop new treatments, new ideas and an ongoing system for improving what we know about brain injury.
Thanks for the update!

i too, agree, that Mr Schru's death and the way it happened is a tragedy beyond words...how dare anyone try to blame anyone else for this senseless outcome...and i too, thank Mr. Schur, for the commitment and labor he demonstrated as a vetern in the war--how dare you bay city officials to try and push the blame for this hero's senseless death on any one else!!! i hope this comes back to bite you big time in the butts--never mind the question, "what if this was a member or your family that this happened too, which in reality it was if you stop, put your self righteos pride aside and think about it for a minute"---i'm so angry to learn about this unforunate and agin senseless outcome that it makes me want to puke--God, what in the world has this world come to?

Well said, H Sparks. I agree with you completely. The "Great Generation's" heroes were regular people with extraordinary guts who made sacrifices that are hard for us to fathom today. Mr. Schur and our other veterans deserve much better. (My grandfathers served, my father served and my brother is still in Iraq. I hope we take better care of them and their fellow vets when they need it.)

America pays all kinds of lip service to celebrating and supporting the troops abroad and at home, but when it comes to paying for their health care (Walter Reed), mental health treatment, or providing elder care (what was Mr. Schur to do, "get a job?"), too many of them are told to pound sand.

This man served his country and his government in World War II as a medic, of all things! He likely endured exploding artillery shells, bullets whizzing by, his buddies screaming in agony, and was even wounded himself (so I've read), all to help save lives. Even his frugal lifestyle in order to contribute to the saving of more lives demonstrates the unselfish values this man held.

Whoever says that the government shouldn't be responsible for taking care of this man should be ashamed! Whoever points the finger at Mr. Schur's closest living relative should be ashamed! This very man may have saved the life of your father, uncle, grandfather, or some other family member who served in the war! As far as I'm concerned that makes Marvin Schur EVERYONE'S responsibility! This should NOT have happened! He should NOT have died this way!
It's a shame that the law comes down hard on someone for neglecting a pet, especially if that pet dies as a result, but Mr. Schur's death results in the electric company considering reviewing it's policies. What the h*ll is wrong with people these days?
