If you have a young athlete, you know the concern over concussions.
Football, cheerleading, wrestling and soccer are just some of the sports that come with that risk and CBS 11 spoke with Dr. Munro Cullum with UT Southwestern about five concussion myths all parents should know about."Well that was the lure many, many years ago," Dr. Cullum said."With the fear being that may slip into coma and never wake up.
"We can't really detect it in living people, and we still don't really know what causes it there," said Dr. Cullum."Some research suggests there may be an association with concussion, but that's really not clear." Dr. Cullum said most states do require young athletes be removed form play for a week, and then cleared by a doctor before returning. He said that's a good rule of thumb for everyone to follow.
