A physician with thirty-five years of experience treating people
with brain injuries shares the latest research on concussions and
best practices for care. The explosion of attention to sports
concussions has many of us thinking about the addled brains of our
football and hockey heroes. But concussions happen to everyone, not
just elite athletes. Children fall from high chairs, drivers and
cyclists get into accidents, and workers encounter unexpected
obstacles on the job. Concussions are prevalent, occurring even
during everyday activities. In fact, in less time than it takes to
read this sentence, three Americans will experience a concussion.
The global statistics are no less staggering. Shaken Brain offers
expert advice and urgently needed answers. Elizabeth Sandel, MD, is
a board-certified physician who has spent more than three decades
treating patients with traumatic brain injuries, training
clinicians, and conducting research. Here she explains the
scientific evidence for what happens to the brain and body after a
concussion. And she shares stories from a diverse group of
patients, educating readers on prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment. Few people understand that what they do in the aftermath
of their injury will make a dramatic difference to their future
well-being; patient experiences testify to the best practices for
concussion sufferers and their caregivers. Dr. Sandel also shows
how to evaluate risks before participating in activities and how to
use proven safety strategies to mitigate these risks. Today
concussions aren't just injuries-they're big news. And, like
anything in the news, they're the subject of much misinformation.
Shaken Brain is the resource patients and their families, friends,
and caregivers need to understand how concussions occur, what to
expect from healthcare providers, and what the long-term
consequences may be.
