Don't piss where there is no toilet....

Concussions can be divided into five grades, 0 thru 4. Grade 0 results when the head is struck or moved rapidly. It is characterized by a post injury headache and difficulty with concentration. The athlete may not notice any other symptoms. Grade 1 concussions occur in the same manner but the athlete may appear stunned or dazed. There is no loss of consciousness (LOC), and sensory difficulties clear in less than one minute. Grade 1 concussions are the typical “I got my bell rung” description from the athlete.



Grade 2 concussions are characterized by headache, cloudy senses lasting longer than one minute, and no LOC. The athlete may have other symptoms including, tinnitus, amnesia, irritability, confusion, or dizziness. One, all or none of these symptoms could be present.



Grade 3 concussions are characterized by LOC of less than one minute, the athlete will not be comatose, and exhibit the same symptoms as a grade 2 concussion. Grade 4 concussions are characterized by LOC of greater than one minute. The athlete will not be comatose, and will also exhibit the symptoms of the grade 2 and 3 concussions.

You should be clear to take 8 months off... Go hit the strip clubs again and fly to Canada to be with mama and dada because altitude is GREAT for head injuries... Or maybe you should just earn your 8.5 mil and play it out...
Whats funny is when he ran into Kunitz it was an excuse... He needed his pussy shorts.

After seeing concussion Drs., PHI's Chris Pronger won't be playing anytime soon and I won't be surprised he doesn't play rest of season.

Did you even read the article you just linked to?

This is from YOUR link that you tried to pass off:



Again, there are different GRADES of concussions. So what were you trying to prove?

sonofsam;1019768 wrote:READ THE FIRST SENTENCE...

In case you have trouble with that, I will help you...

There is no standard classification system for concussions.

Four of the leading researchers in head injuries maintain their own classification system... MEANING they take it upon themselves to form THEIR OWN classification. The REAL fucking idiot should learn how to read.
