Concussion in Sports 2 PSA (:30)
[Daughter] But Mom!
[Mom] Don't 'but Mom' me! You heard what the doctor said.
[Daughter] I'm FINE - I just got my bell rung. It's NOT like I blacked out.
[Mom] You've had headaches, dizzy spells, and you're just not yourself. That's not feeling "fine."
[Daughter] C'mon, I can't miss the game—
[Mom] It's still serious, even if you didn’t blackout. It's better to miss one game than the whole season.
[Announcer] All concussions are serious. Know the warning signs and never let your child return to play before a healthcare professional says it's ok.
A message from CDC.
