I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT ALL THIS INFORMATION REGARDING CONCUSSIONS  IN FOOTBALL CAME OUT A SHORT TIME AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT-AND-RUN AUTO ACCIDENT (ON A VERY STEEP HILL). AMONG THE INJURIES I SUSTAINED WAS A CONCUSSION.  MY LIFE HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE THAT AFTERNOON DRIVE BACK TO WORK.  ALONG WITH MY INJURIES, MY CAR WAS TOTALED, I WAS ON DISABILITY FROM WORK FOR MANY MONTHS, MY DOCTORS WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY SYMPTONS, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES MADE MY LIFE HELL TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS GETTING WORSE INSTEAD OF BEING ALLOWED TO RECOVER.  THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS WHEN I WAS TERMINATED FROM MY 27 1/2 YEAR EMPLOYMENT FROM A COMPANY I WAS VERY PROUD TO WORK FOR.  I RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE FROM MY COMPANY AND THEIR INSURANCE CARRIER WHATSOEVER.  I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR MY HEALTH AND WHAT I HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH.  I WILL SAY THIS.  CONCUSSIONS TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO HEAL, IF AT ALL, AND IT DOESN'T HELP TO PUT THE PATIENT THROUGH HELL WHILE THEY ARE TRYING TO RECOVER.  I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GO TO CAPITOL HILL AND TESTIFY, THAT IS AFTER I SPEAK TO GOVERNOR CORZINE.
