Concussions To CTE

You’re in the hospital; You’ve just found out that you have a concussion. No big deal, right? That’s where you’re wrong. Your concussion could potentially lead to CTE. What’s CTE, you ask? CTE is also known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. CTE is known to be connected with dementia, suicidal thoughts and actions, and memory loss. Athletes have a higher risk of getting CTE, as they’re more likely to get concussions and other head-related injuries. This is a list of head injuries that were treated in 2009 (or, if you like, you can look at the original article in the Works Cited):
Football: 46,948
Basketball: 34, 692
Baseball/Softball: 38, 394
Soccer: 24, 184
Hockey: 8,145
That does seem to be a lot of head injuries… Is anyone else seeing
