re: Joel Meyers clowning on AD

I don't think they're conducting the sanity test from Miracle on 34th street. I don't remember seeing many details but I'm pretty sure I saw something about response time to questions, so I don't think it's completely unscientific. If it were as simple as you're suggesting AD would have gotten some aspirin from Joel and come back.

All i know is i've got a really good friend who's probably going to be retarded rich soon b/c of what he's doing with concussion testing. It's getting implemented into MLB next year, and it's sort of a test run for the NFL, b/c the NFL concussion testing is a joke.

It's funny how they never really get into specifics about what the concussion testing actually is. It is response time. Response time to stupid questions like what's your wifes moms name, based on some baseline that they may or may not have conducted beforehand.

You can't argue that they are over the top cautious when it comes to bumping your head. He could have actually had a concussion, or he could have just bumped his head and was fine.

What my friend and a bunch of other doctors are doing has to do with eye movement, which is a lot harder to fake the test results, unless you're some trained spy/assassin. All you have to do now is answer the questions they give you for your baseline slower than normal that way when you do the test after a hit to the head you have a better chance of passing the concussion test.


They are really in the stone age when it comes to concussion testing, at least they are for what they have implemented right now.
