[RC] head injury--reassurance - Mary KraussA lot of people are spooked by what happened to Natasha Richardson-- most of us probably don't need to worry unduly though.I think they're suspecting she had an pre-existing aneurysm that was likely to burst with very little trauma. That's probably why they couldn't save her despite giving excellent medical care in a fairly prompt manner. Most people's skulls are pretty robust. Having said that, of course one should be watchful. I wouldn't stress out worrying over every little bump though--that's kinda falling into the "fragile egg" theory of the brain--similar to the "fragile environment" theories about nature. Brains and nature both recover from all sorts of trauma..... jmo, Mary K. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
