What’s Going On With Church’s Head?
Ryan Church left yesterday’s game with dizziness. The Mets have said that the dizziness was due to a migraine and that Church has a history of migraines. I’m curious how they draw the distinction between dizziness from a migraine and dizziness from post concussion syndrome. I’m not a medical person so I don’t have the answer for that. I also don’t know if a concussion would make one more susceptible to migraines or not. A simple Google search turns up some links that would suggest that migraine symptoms after a concussion is a sign of possible further issues.
The Mets have been guilty of mishandling injury issues during Omar Minaya’s tenure. Usually it’s waiting too long to put someone on the disabled list or misjudging the seriousness of an injury. In this case the injury is to someone’s head. I sincerely hope that they are taking this one seriously enough and will take the proper precautions to be sure Church gets the care he needs. It’s one thing if a player ends up with an arthritic knee or elbow after his playing days are over. But it’s much more serious when the damage is to the brain. I’d hate to see Church have trouble speaking or have motor control issues, etc. in his later days because the team mishandles this.
