Some points well made which I am sure are quite valid. However, stats based on information derived from anecdotal evidence are suspect at best and only detract from the underlying message.
Not sure I understand....whether male or female, there needs to be more education on concussions, especially for teachers and coaches. I had two concussions as a kid that I know of. both involved throwing up once, lots of sleep and back to school the next day. my two kids have had 2 - 3 each and they were all different. the first and worst one was avoidable had there been adult supervision. the others were just accidents that happened. the problem that could be fixed is whether or not the kids are allowed to recover.
We made DD suck it up for a week before she went to the doctor. Playing ball, Hockey and going to school, complaining of headaches, etc. I was shocked when I saw her fail miserably at every simple test they gave her in the Doctor's office. If we had done the right thing and brought her to the doctor when it first happened, maybe she would've recovered quicker.
