My daughter was injured in a basketball game while in Manchester last weekend. She had head to head contact with another player requiring 9 stitches to her forehead. Dr Goldberg did not perform a concussion test. He asked her basic questions that she was able to answer. She never lost consciousness. She asked if she could play the rest of the weekend and he told her If you feel up to it. My daughter played in two games and ended up nauseous and dizzy. We saw her pediatrician Monday morning to find out she had a moderate concussion. The concussion test performed by her pediatrician was with lights and following fingers not just asking basic questions. Of course, my daughter is going to ask if she can play. She is competitive! The Dr should have told her no play for 48 hours to at least see if symptoms would appear!
