 +Overall, experiencing a concussion is not to be taken lightly. Rowan Stringer’s case serves as a prime example of how concussions can be life-threatening if left untreated. Most concussion cases result from sports injuries and 5 out of 10 cases can go undetected in the U.S (CDC, 2019). Physical and mental rest is vital to recovering and avoiding further brain damage. Moreover, seeking medical attention is important after experiencing a concussion to be assessed and rule out any potential damage.
