I was the chief medical officer of Pennsylvania Hospital until mid March, and then I transitioned to Temple on April 1. PJ, who is my mentor and friend, said we\u2019d still like you to be part of the medical consultative group for the World Cup coverage. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>What is your background in neurology for athletes?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>When I came to Philadelphia, I practiced at Pennsylvania Hospital for many years, and they had a large sports medicine presence. I was on the medical staff of the Flyers and the Eagles for many years. I was never on the sidelines watching all the games, but I was the one seeing them the day after. In very rare situations, I would have to meet them in an emergency room setting. I also took care of players\u2019 families and friends, if someone had another neurological problem. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>What will your role be during the World Cup?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I will be available to consult with trainers on the field, team physicians who are accompanying the groups, and I will see patients as necessary. Dr. Brennan will call me and say, \u201cDan, I need you to see player X for this problem.\u201c It will likely be a concussion or concussion-type symptoms, but it could be other neurological symptoms. I would see them at Temple University Hospital.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>What happens when you get a concussion?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The brain is inside of the skull, and it\u2019s floating in the skull \u2014 it\u2019s not actually packed into the skull. Around the brain is fluid that communicates from around the brain all the way down the spine to the tailbone. It serves as a buffer for the brain and the spinal cord to make sure that they don\u2019t literally push up against the bone. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>What happens when someone has a concussion is the brain actually shifts \u2014 whether it\u2019s a neck movement, like whiplash, or a direct head hit \u2014 and the brain literally will push up against the bone or smack up against the bone. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The severity of that impact will dictate how severe the concussion is. If there\u2019s not much movement of the brain in the skull, it\u2019ll produce mild symptoms, headaches, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, maybe some balance trouble. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=711\">Gov. Mikie Sherrill says ICE detention center visit was strictly limited<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>If it smacks up against the skull harder, that\u2019s when people have word-finding difficulty, memory trouble, concentration trouble, along with those other things that happen with the milder concussions. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>What do you want people to know about concussion treatment?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>People are very nervous \u2014 the parents of the high school athletes, particularly, and maybe even the college athletes \u2014 when they come in with their kids to these visits. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>They ask questions like, is my kid going to get Alzheimer\u2019s disease earlier? Is my kid going to get a neurodegenerative disease earlier? And there\u2019s no real proof that\u2019s the case. A lot of what I do in these visits, especially when I\u2019m seeing someone for the first time, is alleviating anxiety and putting to rest some of the myths.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The vast majority of concussions only have symptoms for a few hours to a few weeks with proper guidance \u2014 which is usually rest, avoiding screen time, and staying really well hydrated. When kids or adult athletes are less symptomatic or asymptomatic, they can resume physical activity slowly. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>Is it bad to fall asleep after a concussion, or is that a myth?<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>That concern comes from the idea that if someone falls asleep, they could be unconscious. And that could be a sign that a bad thing is happening, that there is bleeding in the brain, or pressure in the brain \u2014 and you wouldn\u2019t want to miss something like that. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The other danger signs that would go along [with risk of unconsciousness] are things you would go to an emergency room for \u2014 a bad headache, sick to their stomach, a lot of light or sound sensitivity. Those things would make me say get evaluated at an emergency room. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>When bad things happen, they\u2019re going to happen in the first few hours. When I talk about getting a good night\u2019s sleep, I\u2019m talking about after they\u2019ve been cleared. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=709\">\u2018A breath of fresh air\u2019: Jamie Apody\u2019s role at Fox 29 expands following difficult 6abc departure<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concussions can be scary for professional and amateur players.
