Concussion : Kid was playing rugby, got concussion, coach made him play on ..he died So his father was on Radio 4 pushing Concussion awareness. Concussion : you dont have to have been on the head ! e.g. knocked on the body can cause whiplash, so brain knocked against skull. - most of the time you are going to be OK even if there is blood and a headache (I know cos I bang my head often, usually cos I am inside wearing my hat so I cant see above me.) - The checklists are a bit overcautious - but basically take a break, then carry on carefully if there are no major signs. If there are seek medical attention eg cant remember what happens .NHS page has list nhs.uk/Conditions/Concussion/Pages/Symptoms.aspx Hello, Whats your name mate My names Stew You are going to be alright X Whats my name ? (tests memory) - can you count the months backwards - good test of damage - vision problems are also a strong symptom (not just broken glasses etc.) If risk of spinal injury : restrict head movement, only remove crash helmet if airway blocked & you need to do CPR
