Recognizing Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury – TBI
We are hearing more and more about Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) everyday…it can be a devastating injury that can totally change a person from what was “their normal”.
One of the best examples of how a person can receive a TBI can be observed on a weekend afternoon, watching your favorite football team crash into their opponents. Oftentimes when a player is injured, you will hear the commentators discussing the player’s injury, and if the head is involved, the player won’t be allowed to play again until “concussion protocols” are followed. This may sound a little overprotective, but it’s really looking out for the player’s best interest…if the player resumes playing before a TBI is healed, he could receive another hit to the head causing even more damage. Each time this happens, the damage increases, causing it to last longer and longer, or even causing permanent damage.
