Concussion

Just as with most other health related articles, there is important information left out here, thought it is good that this tragic death is generating some awareness.

Most articles unfortunately do not mention that Ms. Richardson did not hit her head.

What most people do not realize is that a head injury can occur upon acceleration. There does not have to be any direct impact from the outside, but acceleration can cause the brain to hit the skull from the inside. This is why LISTENING to your kids' symptoms is very important.

There are many doctors who do not know this either, so just as in many other health situations, a patient (or parent) should educate themselves and not assume that all doctors know all things. If your child is not acting normal, there is probably a problem and you would know that better than any professional.

This is about concussion:
