Bit of a medicalish view point re post injury

If Hume had been sent to A&E the chances are he may still have been discharged. Not all skull fractures require surgery, are admitted or bleed. Hence the frequent use of discharge advice cards from A&E to alert those who have had a head injury that there maybe delayed effects and to alert them to what the signs & symptoms are.

As has been stated he watched the 2nd half after being seen by club medics so at that point was not showing signs of concussion or memory loss.

If my training serves me it is not uncommon for small blood vessels to have minute tears & it is these which collect over time leading to the symptoms which lead Hume to attend A&E on Sunday.

No statement has been made about the exact nature of the bleed or fracture but no mention has been made that it was a depressed fracture of the skull although Davey did say his cheek was a different shape after the incident than before.

Hope this puts into perspective that at the time of the injury or even after the game A&E may still not have helped

 

Agree with that.

When JLWBigChris (Christopher) got knocked off his pushbike just over 5 years ago, he suffered concussion and was rushed to hospital. X-rays (taken with head collar on) revealed bruising and a bump. He was kept in overnight and released the next day still feeling a bit dizzy but this was put down to the fact that he suffers from migraines and shock.

A few days later he started throwing up, couldn't stand up without support and didn't really know what was going on. I rushed him back to the hospital where further x-rays and tests showed a fracture just above his left ear - not picked up as hidden on previous x-ray by collar. The depressed bone was pressing on his ear causing his balance to be affected.

As the healing process had begun it was thought best not to interfere unless his symptoms got worse so he had to stay in hospital for a week until medical staff were sure he was "fit". It took quite a few months for him to feel 100% and even now he still has occasional lapses in memory and dizzy spells.

 

My other half is a doctor, having worked in the neurotrauma and neurosurgery department at the royal hallamshire and she said the same - the club doctor has done nothing wrong. It is simply a bunch of uninformed idiots who are trying to deflect attention from Chris Morgan.
