Yet…
🧠Elite players can still return 7 days after a diagnosed concussion
🤕High speed head collisions aren’t resulting in precautionary removals
🔄1/10 HIA fails are overturned allowing players back on the field
🟥Unions want lesser sanctions for head contact
@drjohnm@rallamee@ProfDFrancis@DavidLBrownMD@VPrasadMDMPH 1/2- I agree with @kaulcsmc. ORBITA 2 answered a fundamental mechanistic question, but using it to change guidelines makes little sense. Existing coronary revascularization guidelines already assumed that PCI wasn't just a placebo. Now we have proof.
