'PROTECT'ing the Brain - Short Version

Emory University doctors are studying the use of progesterone in treating traumatic brain injuries, like the one suffered by Marc Baskett, profiled in this video.

NOTE: This is the "short" version of the video. There is another version of this video, also available in this channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYilY7HSr2Q), that is 5 minutes long and includes more details and quotes from the family.
