Hitting the head

[karmaisabitch]

Does hitting my head like punching it hard might causes heart attack and death? Trauma to the head can be deadly and hitting the head is trauma right? I just thought about that..

So, bumping your noggin isn't usually a ticket to brain boo-boo land, unless you're on a ketamine holiday, floating so high that a head bump feels like a cloud kiss. Seriously, you'd need to give your head a whack with the force of a superhero – or a super klutz – to really rattle the brain cage.

Think of your skull as the ultimate brain bucket, custom-designed to take hits like a champ. It's like nature's own motorcycle helmet, minus the cool stickers. And then there's the cerebrospinal fluid, your brain's personal moat, keeping those precious neurons from smashing against your bone dome. It's like having a built-in bubble wrap for your gray matter.

Now, for the most part, your head can take a bit of a bashing without turning your brain into scrambled eggs. It's the blockbuster, Hollywood-style impacts that really roll out the red carpet for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). If you somehow manage to hit your head hard enough to audition for a concussion, well, you're playing brain injury bingo.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are a bit like a box of chocolates – you never know what you're gonna get. From the "Whoops, there goes my afternoon" mild concussion to the "Who are you and why am I in medieval England?" level of drama. The outcome really depends on how hard, where, and in what knightly fashion you decided to introduce your head to an immovable object.

My crazy ass used to punch my head really hard often. Probably just lowered my IQ a couple points.

Don't muck about with brain injuries. Even the effects of concussion can drag on for months and months. And then serious brain injuries can leave you alive but with a different personality or even unable to care for yourself and live independently (as with a former colleague of mine who survived an awful car crash and now requires 24 hour care as the only thing in his body that couldn't heal was his brain.)
