Thank you.
For many years I dealt with sports, in my time as a trainer, in my private practice, and then when I was one of the team doctors for our junior hockey team, so basically for 25 years. I reflect back today, and although I treated a lot of concussions over the years, it did not seem to be the same.... When I was ending my practice, the longevity of the injury seemed to be greater in my last couple of years of practice versus in my early years of practice. I'd like to think that in my early years of practice, fresh out of school, I was on top of it and everything.
I'm wondering, from the research, can you tell us why we're seeing more situations where concussions seem to be lasting longer than 30 days? Is there any research to suggest that?
I'll start with the researcher, Ms. Curran.
Do you have any comments?
