YouTube Clip of the Week: “Ignoring Head Injuries”
Every now and then I talk about concussions on this blog, because they are a big source of headaches…and a big potential source of future headaches if not seen to immediately. You can get concussions or head injuries from sports, stupid stunts (like this fellow was doing) or working at Macy’s.
This is a very short clip by “Dramatic Health” that shows the average problems you can get if you don’t get your head injury checked out right away. This guy was lucky. He could have wound up a lot worse.
One thing that might sound completely unbelievable is that after being hurled to the pavement, this fellow claims that his head didn’t hurt. Oddly enough, he’s probably telling the truth. A blow to the head may make the pain nerves not fire. When I had my last concussion, I didn’t get the head pain until nearly an hour after the blow. Until then, I was more dazed than anything else. The security guard at Macy’s got a cold compress on me right away, which may have helped dull the pain.
On this happy note, try to have a pain free weekend.
