I've had at least 10 concussions before the age of 10 and never had any proper neurological follow-up or treatment to assess the damages, no course of treatment to let me know what my limitations and strengths are. I was not an athlete nor a soldier; my wounds came at The hands of those who were to care for me and keep me safe. I was abused, tortured, as a child. I have Complex PTSD, also something that when doing math responds like dyscalculia, and when reading or speaking, I often switch the first and last letters of 2 words in sentences in a flip, often roughly in the same place, nearly every time (for example : "I like going to the neach, only at bight." instead of "I like going to the beach, only at night.") I started reading by the age of 4, was put in "gifted" classed and tested to have an extremely high (even by MENSA standards) I.Q.; I often wonder what it would have been had I not suffered all the abuse at such an early age, and the subsequent 10 (likely more unreported) concussions by the age of 10. I was a child the first time my I.Q. Test was administered. I really would like a full neurological work up. I'd like to know where the damage lies and how compromised I am by it.
Sadly, in this lecture, Dr. Placa perpetuates one of the greatest misunderstandings about concussions, and that is 'you do not have to hit your head to sustain a concussion.' I repeat: "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HIT YOUR HEAD TO SUSTAIN A CONCUSSION." A sharp blow to the chest, sufficient to snap your neck, in whiplash fashion, can result in a concussion. That is because a concussion occurs when the brain hits the inside of the skull with sufficient force to cause swelling, bruising, sheering or bleeding in the brain. The area of the brain that is injured determines the symptoms. There is no helmet that will prevent the brain hitting the skull, so there is no helmet that can prevent a concussion. A helmet is very useful in preventing a skull injury, but it won't prevent a brain injury. Finally, I am frustrated that lecturers, and may doctors primarily discuss concussions in terms of sports injuries. When you consider that concussions can be the result of many types of injuries, including falls, fights/assaults, industrial or home accidents, and car accidents, sports injuries may be the more obvious causes, but it doesn't seem logical they are the MAJORITY of causes of concussion. Unfortunately, there is also no information given in this talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome, wherein the symptoms of concussion continue for months or years afterward, devastating the lives of sufferers and their families.
its tha brainprints man there well somehwat tailored i guess but stating all brains are per definition unique is bad science.. and my grammer sucks like a sick kid .
TED will be open soon in our city
I live in Duhok .
Duhok is a city of kurdistan
Iam kurdish
Thank u 😍😍
I will watch this fully later. I'll share now so I have an easy link to click on. I'll make a concussion video or documentary in the future.
Thanks for clearing many things

Did you ever get evaluated?
I do hope you have been able to get properly assessed, and are finding a path to recovery.
Your doctor's experience....we all know how that goes!
Good one.
concussion ruined my life
What about post concussion syndrome? Is this method in use? Where is this applied?
