REHABILITATION OF EPILEPTIC SERVICE MEN
WILLIAM GORDON LENNOX
In 1940, epilepsy was the second most frequent cause for medical discharge from the army. The addition of traumatic epilepsy, as a result of combat, will greatly increase the size of the problem. In the rehabilitation of the epileptic service man, proper medical, psychological and social treatment is important. Employment is essential, but is frustrated by public ignorance and by labor compensation laws which do not permit the patient to waive his rights in the case of injuries which may result from his handicap.
