Approximately 30% of concussive patients discharged from the emergency department aren't given proper instruction to prevent further injury. That's according to Dr. Ilene Claudius, assistant professor and emergency department pediatrician at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. At the 2013 Advanced Pediatric Emergency Medicine Assembly, Dr. Claudius offered some guidance for physicians providing sideline consultation on sports-related head injuries.
