Eric
Williams who spent 10 seasons in the NFL and started
at defensive tackle for the 1991 Super Bowl champion Washington
Redskins began taking nutritional supplements to help rebuild
memory and brain function after participating in study this past
year that revealed brain damage in 103 of 105 NFL veterans. The
experimental brain rehabilitation treatment is said to be
working for most who follow the daily regimen, but Williams said
he can't remember to take the supplements everyday. "I just
forget," said Williams, 48, w. "I don't know if that's because
of football or what, but I have some major, major memory issues,
and it scares me."
Williams, along
with his father and nephew, participated in the brain-imaging
study at the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach. That study and the
sometimes-troubling personal stories of the current and former
NFL players who were examined there adds to a growing body of
research suggesting football faces an epidemic of concussions
and other traumatic brain injuries.
Williams, who
is retired and living in Tyler, Texas, doesn't know how many
concussions he sustained during his football career, but he
fractured his neck in 1985 and remained unconscious through two
commercial breaks, at least five minutes, after being knocked
out in a 1989 game.
The treatment
may offer hope to those living with brain injuries, but some
still wrestle with the question when asked if they have regrets
about playing football given the growing concern about brain
damage in NFL veterans.

Johathan
Lucas, M.D. , a University of Reno Medical School and UCLA
residency graduate was featured in the national press in his
role as a deputy medical examiner for San Diego County looking
into the controversial suicide of Rebecca Zahau, the girlfriend
of pharmaceutical tycoon Jonah Shacknai.
Lucas said
despite his profession’s often morbid and emotional aspects, he
does not let it get him down.
“Being a
(medical examiner) can be one of the most emotionally laden
fields,” he said. “Every case we take is a tragedy. Someone has
always lost a mother, father, brother or sister. But somebody
has to see the facts and drill through the emotion.”
Balancing his
professional and personal lives has always been something Lucas
was good at, Petersen said. For example, when he is not in his
office in downtown San Diego or in the morgue examining
patients, Lucas enjoys cycling. In September, he biked on a
tandem from San Francisco to Santa Monica as part of the
Arthritis Foundation’s annual charity event, the California
Coast Classic.
A colleague was
quoted as saying; “He is wise, and you look at him and the way
he acts and talks, it’s as if he is an old soul who has been
around for quite a while.He is one of those people who not only
has it together, but who will go down in history for the work he
has done.”
