Thank you.
You both made an important point that no one concussion is (a) the same, (b) treated the same, and (c) comes out with the same results. I appreciate those comments, because that's an awareness thing that we need to know, and that we need to get out for the sporting bodies to understand that as well, because they extrapolate that all into saying....
In my day, when I had my concussion, they'd say, “Your bell was rung. Get back out there. It's a long way from the heart.” Today, we need to be very well aware of that aspect of it because of the implications of it, and no one ever recovers exactly the same way. I was the victim of a hit-and-run when I was 16. I was riding a bicycle and was hit by a drunk driver. I was unconscious for 10 days. The reality is that I've come back from it but it took time. You see everyone recovering on those aspects.
When we deal with children, they're reliant upon the people around them to make decisions for them. That goes back to, as you talked about earlier, recreational sporting before they get to that elite level. As they get to the elite level, they usually have a lot more professional help that's providing that for them.
What can we say to those who might be listening today, the parents who might be listening today, as to how they approach that aspect? A lot of parents will panic and maybe overdiagnose it themselves because they read it on the Internet, or they may not do anything. I'd like some suggestions from you, if possible.
