Ross P. Berkeley, M.D., (Emergency Medicine) and Rachel Kelly (Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine Class of 2022 graduate) recently published a manuscript titled, "The Glasgow Coma Scale: A Disconnect between Medical Documentation and Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation in the United States," in the peer-reviewed Medico-Legal Journal. This review article highlights a disconnect between the clinical classifications of traumatic brain injuries documented in the medical record by medical professionals, and the subsequent application of this documentation by the legal profession. Dr. Berkeley is chair and program director of the department of emergency medicine.
