Abstract
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have numerous neurologic and cognitive sequelae. The road to recovery can be long and arduous for many patients. Improving cognition can assist in a shorter recovery time as patients may be more in tune with their plan of care. Family physicians may be helpful in assisting with the recovery process post-hospital discharge. This case report seeks to educate family physicians on the use of methylphenidate in the ambulatory setting after TBI. Here, a case of a 51-year-old man on methylphenidate after a traumatic brain injury is presented.
