Head Injuries can not only be the most devistating, but also the most misdiagnosed and most misunderstood by doctors, the patient and their loved ones. Research is constantly enhancing our knowledge of the brain but there is still much mystery involved in head injuries including their treatment and care.
Our skulls are hard and designed to protect our soft, gelatin-like brains. However, the inside of the skull is rough and boney, unlike the smooth exterior. The delicate lobes of the brain are easily damaged, despite the skull’s outer protection. There are countless ways the head can be injured. From a hit playing football, to an automobile collision, to the vibrations from a far off explosion. The most important aspect of a head injury is recognizing it has happened and getting immediate proffessional care. This can eradicate countless complications and even sudden death.
