Great reminder today from Dr K - this is precisely why I ask the question on the new patient case review form: 'Have you ever been knocked unconscious even if only for a few seconds?' ...research shows that concussion patients can experience chronic brain inflammation for years after the initial injury, resulting in serious long-term …
