I'm mourning a favourite actress, Natascha Richardson.

As events become known, a simple fall, a refusal to be examined by ski patrol medics led to cerebral bleeding and death.

I've had two major head truamas; I knocked myself cold running into playground equippment as a little boy in Scottsdale.

Years later I suffered a tiny skull fracture flipping my lifeboat.

Both times I had IMMEDIATE medical care.

Both times my thick skull held what intelligence I claim from slipping entirely away.

We all 'tough it out' and we all wake up 20 years later with a elbow that won't work.

Please, if you get in a wreck and medical care of ANY level is there don't play tough or feel embaressed.
