Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Concussion and CTE: AFL brain disease cases ‘tip of the iceberg’, says US expert Dr Chris Nowinski

Concussion and CTE: AFL brain disease cases ‘tip of the iceberg’, says US expert Dr Chris Nowinski | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it

"Tackling is dangerous. There's no safe way to do it. There are fair ways to do it, but there's no safe way to bring another man - or woman - to the ground and stop their momentum at the same time."

Dr Nowinski said there was no reason for children to play adult forms of any contact sport. "You just don't start hitting children in the head," he said. "When they're young, you don't play the adult, dangerous version of the game. What's the point? We're crazy to have children who are not getting paid and don't even understand what CTE means playing by the same rules as adults.

As a parent, you have to think twice about letting your child play heavy contact sports like AFL, Rugby (either code) or football. At least in basketball there is no tackling.
