Bruises, broken bones and other physical injuries heal eventually. Medical technology are at a stage where many body parts are replaceable / repairable. However, your one-and-only brain (and nervous system) is non-replaceable and almost impossible to repair.
For many years, hospitals only treat immediate visible trauma, many patients are left on their own after the obvious are treated. With recent high profile cases, people start to understand more about soldiers suffering from PTSD, long term impact of concussions of hockey players and more.
If the brain is that delicate and important, how much risk are you willing to take?
- Wear head gear / gloves and pound each other until one drops
- Go skiing / cycling without a helmet
- Experiment with mind-altering drugs
- Drink and drive or text – risking yours as well as other people’s life
