Beating the Odds

Written by Tom Adair, Actsafe’s former Board of Director, shares his personal story on dealing with a concussion

On Feb 9th, 2019 while skiing, I suffered a concussion. I have no memory of the fall that day and ‘lost’ 30-40 minutes in total. As I know the correct concussion protocol, I visited an emergency room later that day where the medical team carried out a CT scan, an x-ray, blood work, and an ECG. There was no indication of a serious problem discovered. I followed up with visits to my own doctor 3 follow up visits to a concussion clinic before March 9th.
