A Change of Character

Truett Allen was a highly driven and successful bank executive until a series of traumas to his heart and brain nearly killed him. A decade later, after three brain operations and several months in critical condition, he appears superficially to be restored. He is articulate and still displays exceptional intelligence, yet he is not himself. He sits idly each day, with little or no drive to work or take care of himself. His wife says, “This isn’t the person I married.” Truett suffers from the perplexing brain condition known as frontal lobe syndrome: the damage to his brain has transformed his personality.
