Doc, When Can My Kid Play?

By: Dr. Evan Mladenoff

Narrated by: Marcus Mulenga

After you get a bump on the head, does it feel like everything has gone wrong in your life? Do you feel like everything you do makes you worse? Are you stressed out that your doctor does not know why your headaches get worse when you play and they never go away? If the answer is yes, you are like so many of my patients, from everyday people to professional athletes, who are frustrated, fed up, and want to get answers for why they feel so bad after they get hit in the head.

They are tired of going to ER or urgent care for relief. They have taken the recommended drugs, they've been listening to coaches that say "You're okay. It's just a bruise. Now get in there and play," and parents who do not know what to do or who to turn to for answers. Nobody has told them what they can and cannot do, and whatever they do, it makes them worse. When all else fails, they turn on themselves with a self-deprecating attitude for poor implementation, lack of discipline, and lack of willpower.

But that's all about to change!

Doc, When Can My Kid Play? is about helping people take charge of their recovery from a concussion. It is unique in its use of simple, effective diagnostic capabilities that are readily available but not very well-known or not favored or advertised in mainstream pharmaceutical-driven health care.

Doc, When Can My Kid Play? is based on over forty years of taking care of professional, college, and high school level athletes who have hit their heads. People who have been in car accidents, mothers who have hit their heads while nursing their babies, people who have fallen walking their dog or just getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and hitting their head while falling.

These patients received the standard level of care from their team, the hospital ER department, or from clinics positioned as specializing in sports medicine.
