On the basis of this information Hodder states that Ellen White “suffered a severe head injury” and that her “immediate loss of consciousness followed by a lucid interval and a subsequent prolonged loss of consciousness is typical of the presence of a cerebral hemorrhage, specifically an epidural hematoma, but not diagnostic of such.” ^{2Hodder, p. 32.} Couperus says that “after a brief interval of consciousness she became unconscious again,” then adds: “For a head injury to produce a coma or unconsciousness lasting three weeks is not common and usually suggests severe brain insult.” ^{3Couperus, p. 17.}ViOSe 10.1
