Episode description
Concussions are hard to diagnose, often get missed, and don't always get taken seriously.
And if you're not a professional athlete, it can be surprisingly hard to get clear information on how to manage and recover afterwards. Why?

This week, we try and make sense of the confusion around concussions.
This episode was first broadcast in October 2023.
