Default Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that was one heck of a collision!

The previous post was excellent. The only thing I would add is to be watchful for any personality changes (yes, I realize that can be difficult to recognize in young adults) that might be indicative of a more serious brain injury.

I’m not familiar with the clinic in question. However, I think that you are very wise to have her seen at a university facility: most family doctors lack the training to deal with head injuries.

When she returns to school, make sure that her instructors are made aware that she has sustained a concussion. At least for a time she may need some allowances to be made: extra time for assignments, quieter settings for tests, etc…

Wishing her a speedy recovery,
Hockey
