Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to both witnesses for coming. It's nice to be among my peeps. I was an emergency physician for 20 years before doing this.
You made a great point about the number of concussions that happen in non-sport settings, but we often tend to forget that. We use the word “concussion”, for the most part, only when someone comes in injured from a sporting event. When someone comes in having been knocked over the head and had their wallet taken or having fallen and broken their hip at home, we don't tend to think about concussion, but it is a consideration. Although this is about sports-related concussions, I think there's much that's applicable to the overall treatment of concussion.
Do you know if there are any public health approaches to concussions that are not related to sports? Has there been any concerted effort to get that out there, or is the science still concentrating on the sports-related concussions?
