Concussions in youths

Testifying before congress, Dr. Bennet Omalu states youths who suffer from concussions should be sidelined from participation in sports for at least three months in order to avoid long-term brain damage. Interesting that the sports medicine community appears to be stepping up its research and activism re: traumatic brain injury. This testimony, in effect, says to parents: FYI, concussions are traumatic brain injuries.
