we get some good press on concussion. A
recent article in the
Baltimore Sun talks about the "hidden" nature of concussion, and how not enough information is know where it is needed most:
"When someone gets injured and goes to a pediatrician or the emergency room, the information they get is wildly variable and the symptoms may not be recognized as a concussion."
As for why concussions go unreported:
"It goes back to [the fact] we don't have a certified athletic trainer in every school, at every game and practice. It's fallen into the hands of the coach, and it's not their expertise."
