Aside from the odd big-budget radio play, most seemed to involve overwrought acting, expositionary dialogue and some poor sap creaking door hinges next to a microphone. Now, though, not only are audio dramas enjoying a new lease of life online, they have a new name: fiction podcasts. In this brave new world, the production is sharp and nuanced, the writing fresh and the cast are not plucked from the nearest am-dram production but from Hollywood.
Explanation Acquired brain injury is damage to the brain that occurs after birth. It is not related to a congenital disorder, a developmental disability or a progressive process or disease. It may be caused by traumatic injury, anoxia (an absence of oxygen) or encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain).
Hospital-acquired condition. A hospital-acquired condition (HAC) is an undesirable situation or condition that affects a patient and that arose during a stay in a hospital or medical facility. It is a designation used by Medicare/Medicaid in the US for determining MS-DRG reimbursement beginning with version 26 (October 1, 2008). Not only hospital-acquired infections but also any other situation or condition, such as pressure ulcers, blood type mismatch, or iatrogenic injury, can be a HAC.
