I had a student in Medical Assisting who was once a registered nurse.  She was hit by a drunken driver and comatose for almost a year.  She came to us with short term memory loss and difficulty concentrating.  She was very motivated and had a supportive family in addition to instructors who very much wanted her to succeed, but unfortunately she was just not able to keep up with the workload or retain enough information to pass any of the tests.

I was interested in this topic and especially first hand accounts of student successes.
