: Brain Injury News and InformationThe medical professionals at the US Open may know something about ankle injuries but they know nothing about concussions
By Michael Kaplen
As I suspected, as more news reports uncover what happened to tennis player, Victoria Azarenka, we are now finding out that she had struck her head in a fall earlier in the day. This fall in a gym was witnessed by medical personnel who came to her assistance. Amazingly, they failed to diagnose a concussion and failed to take necessary steps that would have prevented her from playing later in the day.
Until those responsible for the heatlh and safety of all athletes understand the signs and symptoms of a concussion and that all concussions must be treated seriously, needless brain damage will continue to take place.
How long will it take for the tennis association to develop a concussion policy that is in keeping with current knowledge?
