Living with Brain Damage 

It's so sad how all his old friends abandoned him when he needed them most. What a strong young lad to seek out help with the challenges he faces in his life now.

How do you guys not have more views and subs? This is the most quality worth-while content I've ever seen on youtube. I've watched several of your videos now and they are very well done.

Really deplorable that his "friends" abandoned him after the accident. I hope George has more compassionate people in his life, and makes better friends in the future. He seems like a really charming fellow, so I think his future is bright.

Still sounds extremely intelligent especially considering what he has been through. Please do not refer to those persons as his FRIENDS. All the best to you George.

Despite his loss of senses, George is doing quite well and looks very handsome despite his injuries. He's a good lad. New better friends will come his way soon.

Wow, I'm sending this video to my 16 yr old son in like two seconds. What a wonderful young guy, some powerful words. Thank you.

I'm in the same place as him I had a serious injury a few years ago and this pushes me to keep going

He sounds fairly good considering that his brain is in such a bad way.

Very handsome young man with a gorgeous smile!! God bless him and his family ❤

I get so invested in these. I want to know more! How is he doing now? I can't be the only one wondering.

Just saw this in recommendations. Charming boy. I hope he is well.

he's incredible and super handsome and still very intelligent. I hope the best for him!

Drinking and driving. People need to learn from George!

He seems incredibly mature to me, given a lot of young men his age! Really nice guy.

Well done i had severe brain injury in 2008,stayed in hospital for 4 month,2018 i am still not recovered but i hope one day i will fully recover from this.

I understand what George is going through. My friends abandoned me too. I look normal to everyone who meets me. He is fortunate in the care he is given. It has been hard for me to get the care I need. I still need a lot of help with social skills and other things. I present so well, doctors just think I need counseling. My short term memory is very bad, and I don't remember new people names ever, and it take a very long time to remember their names, so I just say hey or hi to people I know and don't use names. :(

I have a head injury Nobody believes you because they can't see like a broken Keep fighting the good fight. Stray strong. Lots of respect.

It is by the Grace of God that he is still alive.

Ooweee This is a blessing seeing his head like that made my head hurt I’m so glad he got another chance im a pray for him and his family

You have a good mum!

A lot of people can not handle people with mental or physical disabilities.It’s sad .

Well done George. My grandaughter also was in a car crash. She was in hospital for 6 weeks and then Laura Ferguson Rehab centre for 2mths. We are lucky to have her in our lives still. It has been a year now and she has just turned 18. Her recovery has been a journey but every week has been a milestone. I hope your recovery has gone or is going well.

I banged my head, I’ve got 20% of George, all George’s feelings are normal , I get it so much

Thank you for sharing you story. Take care. Wonderful you helping other realize the problem with drinking and driving.

Mine was a pretty bad stroke in 2014 and I recognize so much of this in myself - Impressed with New Zealsnd support systems It's not uncommon for spouses to decide they can't cope with the changes and shove off. in my case, my wonderful wife died the year before, but I know she would have always been here for me if she possibly could have

Good luck George...from Gill in Scotland xxx

Real strong message indeed!!

Wonder how he’s doing today? Hope he’s back in school and moving forward!

Youre actually incredible George! Wow, what a full on head injury to have survived, at any level!!!

George has done very well. I will pray for him x

Its a good thing he survived. Hes a hero :3

I have experienced the same. Caraccident, 8 weeks coma, brain damage, 4 years rehab. no "old" friend left.

Thanks, George. You're doing very well, and I wish you the best and much happiness going forward. Above all, thanks for the message. You may have saved a life or two. ;) Keep on shining!

He still has more social skills than I do lol

Hey George i've been really inspired watching you. i'm sorry your friends weren't around for you, but you know you will find better friends and you will find a beautiful girl one day who will be understanding and nicer than who you had before. Keep strong George!

George is a Hero. I also clap hands for her mom who quit her job to take care of her son 👏🏽 God bless them ❤️

God Bless you, George. Enjoy the rest of your life,sweet Dear.

what an amazing man...he could teach people things

U still look really good George, it's her loss. U have a very beautiful soul

Imagine what it's like to wake up one day and you aren't yourself. The memories, thoughts, feelings, everything that makes you, you is gone, twisted, lost. That's a brutally bitter pill to swallow.

I wish George a speedy recovery. I know it's tough and difficult but tay strong and don't let negative thoughts work on you 🤜🏻🤛🏻 . I also have problem with left eye also my left eye and take a closer look my left eye look little smaller than right one . 🙏🏻

Dang dude got hard resetted bruhh...

George, you beautiful soul. Your beautiful soul has made you even more handsome. Keep growing and thriving💖

1:39 excuse did he say I liked throwing up and getting drunk , ok something ain’t right about liking the throwing up part . 😂

He is doing really well, way to go :-)

Oh my goodness, he is such a touching young man. I hoppe he is doing well and gotten some of his old skills back. 🌷

I remember George from Unitec he's definitely got himself much better friends now, and a new girlfriend too

That poor kid.

I have 50 percent brain damage from a massive stroke and aneurism at the same time. I know I had an out of body experience and there's no heaven and there's no hell. I lost family job house and savings also physical fitness cuz I was a body builder but I am living on my own now so I am making a little progress what's wierd is I have a full understanding about astrophysics so much I put it in an algebra equation for an denifinative explanation

Hmmm I might stop drinking and driving I’ll consider it

I don't know how I don't have brain damage after a explosion to the head

George, chicks dig the scars! The world has big plans for you, mate. I believe in you!

The guy looks very mature, sensitive and very intelligent for having such an impact in the prefrontal cortex. Good luck to him. He doesn't act childish whatsoever.

Dont you worry about those people that left you! They aren’t worth the length you can throw them! You will find better friends

Love this channel. Do you have a followup on George and some of the others you've featured with TBI ?Thankyou and wish you all the best George

Life is unforgiving. I contrast this video with that of a mother who lost 3 children in a single car accident when a drunk driver killed her family. Though I have a modicum of sympathy for this person and his mates, I don't feel sorry for him. He's damn lucky his poor decision making and self-absorbed mentality did not result in the deaths of innocent people.

Aww baby x Gawjus sweetheart Heart breaks for you That's the case PEOPLE aren't willing to understand You are a gawjus person what makes you beautiful is the strength to keep fighting Much love to u darling boy @♡♡♡

I remember that in one of your other videos there was a guy named tekaha that was always laughing after his brain injury. I kind of see a connection now. It amazes me that an injury to the brain can cause a "growth/change" in humour

Bless you all been there keep going good luck I get u what your saying got the t-shirt two well done headway nottingham uk x

I watched another documentation of yours about a similar topic. What's the difference between brain damage and brain injury?

He looks great and doesn't seem so childlike. He's actually quite articulate and mature acting.

Oh my gosh, i thougt that this is another person, who just touch to his brain, and get severe depressed due to it and nk have symptomps. But it turns, that this guy really have brain injury, because in other cases, theres just touch to brain

my person the one beofr I became this one after my accident run over whilst cycling has sort of stepped to one side and let this one take over my coma was three weeks and when I woke i was in such shock I tried to jump out of the window of the hospita social stuff is my struggle i have frontal lobe damage/epilesy and I cant read more than a few lines, tierdness is the same as George i eat the same things every day I have no friends anymore just people that I meet in cafe nero they think I`m rude and my girlfrien is my carer, I cant go in "supermarkets"

Maybe we should make alcohol illegal and weed legal. People on weed don't drive fast.

I never drove under the influence of alcohol or drugs. That's unfortunate for him. So so sad. A hard lesson learned

And yean your "friend" are all weak and pathetic and i wouldnt be suprised if karma has caught up with some of them. Much love young fulla!!!❤❤❤

Makes me feel lucky I to have a mental age my personality is no good i can't socialise I had to do my year 4 again I can't smell see through my left eye at my side maths I can't do I av bad ears I was left in a coma I had a blood transfusion I had to b rushed back into the operation room because I had brain fluid leaking through my ears and noes the cut me ear to ear pulled my face faward glued up my ears n noes I had a afterlife dream premonition it was about me waking up in a brighten room like blinding bright and I was on a cold ass floor with no clothes on I was a new born at the same time being the 5 years old looking observing my self from the roof ceiling and there 3 ladies looking through the panel window on the door was waving at me I was screaming my heart out wondering why these 3 ladies were leaving me if they were waving at me I did this 3 times each time I died I realised now that they were waving at me not in the hopes of them being ill mannered or waving because they were coming to pick me up but rather they were waving good by because it wasn't my time yet I really also think that one of them were my grandmother in law seems strange I know but I'm almost 100,% on that one so yes I was 5 I was looking out the window which was full of algi and I was told to be careful because my twin was to be getting some pegs for a tent my cousin built so my cousin went telling me to b careful so I'm on the 3rd floor and there were a celler and celler steps on the outside and of course I was wondering if I did fall maybe I could be like dumbo lol yes I'm the dumbo and as quick as I thought that I fell head first on concrete steps I broke my skull open and I remember that when the brigade I think may be paramedic came to safe me they explained it as they had to pick up the glass so were making every effort to pick it up it wasn't glass they were picking up but my skull. I half recovered but I suffer with so many things I have fibromyalgia and 2017 they diagnosed me of a bilateral frontal lobe gliosis my brain is slowly dieing which both are diseases that r not curable I say things I forget in a split second I'm in constant pain I'm bedridden because I can't sit on my but as I feel as if my spine is crunching on me I'm 38 and use a mobility scooter so once was so independent with 1 child now I have 3 and from my first where I could sholder ride my son for great lengths I could dance for least 6 hours straight I was single I was so independent I could use a electric tree cutter thing and they stood least 15 feet from ground to sky and it took so much effort they were so overgrown maintenance hard u had to have a chair to stand on as well as have my both arms up in the air I was size 8 which is size 6 in USA size and I'm nothing like the pretty person on the outside in and even then I never fell nothing myself its hard to think highly of myself back in the day I was thin and never had a Inch of fat on me I was proud of that as I lost weight all my baby fat from b giving birth well I had a c section point is when u mum don't accept u u will find it hard to love and accept your self but dang I thought I hated myself then know I dispise myself I have 3 kids one who lives with his dad hec is 22 years and I have a 15 and a10 year old to my husband so it's hard when I only get 20 days out the year feeling ok

I do not feel sorry for him drunk drivers are responsible for a lot of deaths they could have easily killed somebody that's why I don't feel sorry for him it's easy to feel sorry for him because he didn't kill anybody due to his drunk driving but in reality he got what he deserved and he knows it

I thought George's joke was funny.
