Em Pulse

If it Hurts, Don’t do it! Let’s revisit concussion and return to play with UC Davis Head Team Physician, Dr. Jeremiah Ray. This Heartbeat was originally recorded as a Facebook LIVE for the UC Davis Health page. We first talked about concussion in May’s episode, “Breaking Out of Concussion Jail". This Heartbeat is a little more casual and offers some practical information for how to recognize and manage concussion in athletes - plus, it provides a little spaced repetition to help us remember what we learned!  Send us your questions and continue the conversation on social media @empulsepodcast or at ucdavisem.com.
