Regarding head trauma.

Many of us in medical settings assume everyone knows something about head trauma. Two years ago, a friend of mine died as a result of a head concussion. Please be reminded, if you, or someone you know complains of hurting their head please remember pain is the body's way of crying for help. DO NOT ALLOW THIS PERSON TO FALL ASLEEP. CALL 911 OR TAKE THEM TO THE E.R ASAP! This is a case of better to be safe than sorry. This is NOT the time to "Man up" and pretend to be brave. Carol was only 50, in her prime of health, she bumped into a wall and told NO ONE. Carol was found dead the following day. So sad. So easily preventable.

I've done much research about concussions. Many times in professional sports, some athletes will have many concussions that sadly go undiagnosed, until they are simply unable to continue their career due to the effects and have to retire.

@SubstantialKick I had no idea the frequency of long-term (Often permanent) untoward physical and/or mental side effects. More reason for caution.
