This book provides a broad introduction to the important topic of
concussive brain injury that considers historical, medical,
research-based, and legal and ethical perspectives. The devastating
long-term effects of concussions and the apparent mismanagement of
concussion treatment among college and professional athletes have
received major media attention in recent years. Do
athletes-especially young ones-and their parents understand the
physical risks and potential lifelong costs involved with playing
their sport? Are injuries handled properly, or are players' careers
and teams' successes put ahead of health and safety? Written by a
Harvard-educated doctor who conducts clinical and scientific
research in the area of sports injuries and concussive brain
injuries, this book provides readers with honest and authoritative
information about concussions. The book's chapters address the
subject from all angles and shed light on current debates related
to concussions caused by sports injuries and accidents. Examines
the topic of concussions from historical and legal/ethical
perspectives as well as medical perspectives and provides insights
into current issues and controversies Includes excerpts from
primary source documents that provide additional information and
bolster students' critical thinking skills Provides a full
complement of research tools for students: a timeline, glossary,
index, and sources for additional information
