Emily Fox's Injury: Handled Properly?
In Episode #455 of the Scuffed Public Podcast, the hosts discuss Emily Fox's head injury during a game. Fox, who has a history of concussions, took two significant knocks to her head in the first half. Despite indicating she was fine after the first knock, the second impact led to further assessment, and she was eventually subbed out as a precaution. The hosts criticize the delay in conducting a thorough check after the first knock, emphasizing that head injuries should be immediately and rigorously assessed. They also highlight the importance of medical professionals making the call to remove players, not the players themselves, especially those with a history of concussions like Fox. The conversation underscores the need for stringent protocols to protect athletes from the long-term effects of head injuries.
