Concussion….the silent killer
Natasha Richardson (Liam Neeson’s wife, Vanessa Redgrave’s daughter) fell while skiing and hit her head. The EMTs wanted to take her to the hospital but she said she was fine and refused. A short time later, complaining of severe headaches, she was taken to the hospital where she died. Epidural hematoma.
There, but for the grace of God, go I. Can’t tell you how many times I have whacked my head against something to the point of seeing stars. Still have a few lumps and scars to show for it.
