Synopsis

Dad fell off the ladder and struck his head. Your son took a hard hit in the soccer game and probably has a concussion. What do you do now? It’s All in Your Head: Everyone’s Guide to Managing Concussions will walk you through the steps of evaluating a head injury and will assist in diagnosing, managing, and recovering from a concussion. Based on the simple principle of The Four Rs: Recognize, Respond, Rest, and Reassess, It’s All in Your Head will empower you to support the injured and advocate for the best possible treatment and outcome, whether the injured person is you or someone you care about. Following the Four Rs will guide the injured through what they need in order to recover successfully and return to work, school, play, and other everyday activities as quickly and safely as possible. Dr. Ann Engelland is a seasoned pediatrician and adolescent medicine physician who works as a school and college physician. She is also an experienced mother of seven children. Her book, It’s All in Your Head: Everyone’s Guide to Managing Concussions, is a valuable and unique resource for parents, coaches, trainers, physicians, therapists, and school personnel who need to understand concussions and collaborate to manage them safely and effectively.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ann Engelland is a pediatrician with over thirty years experience caring for children, teens, and young adults. Her specialty training and board certification is in adolescent medicine. After many years in private practice in Westchester County, New York, she now works in the public schools as the physician for two different districts and in the Barnard College student health service in New York City. In 2008, she directed the development and implementation of the concussion management policy for the Mamaroneck School District. Her other credentials include her website and blog, www.AnnEngellandMD.com, where she comments on a spectrum of matters affecting the health and wellbeing of teens and young adults. Topics of discussion include safety, sexuality, infectious diseases, immunization practices, and current events affecting young people, families, and parents. Over the past two years raising awareness about head injury and concussion has been the subject of many of her posts. Ann is the lucky mother of seven healthy children ages 19 to 31. Several of them now recognize that they sustained head injuries they would now call “concussions.” It is partly because of their stories and those of Ann’s patients that the Questionnaire and this book were born.
