‘Caitlin Can’t Remember’ – episode 8: Teen with anterograde amnesia - a doctor's opinion

When Caitlin Little suffered from a traumatic brain injury that left her with anterograde amnesia, her parents looked everywhere for answers.“It’s just going to take some time,” every doctor told them. Some said three weeks, some said three months … one even said it might be longer. Part of the problem is that so few people have seen anything like what Caitlin is going through. “Her case is amongst the most rare that I think you could see in my profession or any that deals with the neurologic system,” says chiropractor, Chad McIntyre, who specializes in working the uppermost bones in the spinal column.“It's not about the bones, itself, it's really about what's inside, there,” says Dr. McIntyre. “And if the brain stem is compromised, it's the hub of the entire nervous system. It acts like the cell tower in a phone network, regulating the communication between the various different parts of the brain and the brain and the rest of the body. So, if it becomes compromised, then any various part of the body can function abnormally, breakdown, become unhealthy.” See what Dr. McIntyre found in this edition of the Buckley Report.
