Brain Injury Victim Leaves Chicago, Returns to Ireland In Search for Further Recovery
It came as no surprise to attorneys at Romanucci & Blandin that local doctors encouraged the transfer of baseball bat beating victim Natasha McShane to her native Belfast, Ireland, for another surgery and rehabilitation. Brain injury victims typically do better in a familiar environment.
Natasha, who suffered a senseless beating on April 23, is eating, walking with assistance and has started to say words, according to her family. Some of her vision is still impaired, and her final prognosis is still uncertain. During her difficult recovery period here, Chicagoans went out of their way to help. We wish her well.
