According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) report published in the LA Times, roughly 950 hospitals nationwide recorded an increase of 3.6% in their emergency departments’ patient visits during the years 2006 to 2010. Corollary to this, patients who visited hospitals’ ERs requesting for necessary treatments for their traumatic brain injuries simultaneously grew by 29.1%. JAMA researchers analyzed this development in the industry and stated, “There may be an actual increase in the number of head injuries suffered by patients, or the figures may be a sign that Americans are taking these injuries more seriously and getting treatment for things they would have blown off in the past.”
