In the neurology world this is known as the "walk, talk and die" syndrom.. ANY
head injury must be investigated. Also, the effects of head trauma are
cumulative.. the damage is greater with each subsequent assault to the brain..
when you bump your head, there are to assaults.. the inital injury when the
trauma occurs and the second one to the other side of the brain when it bounces
off your scull.. so, watch your kids when they participate in sports..
