In my experience society regrettably values bread over beans. I canā€™t talk about it or else Iā€™m gonna start crying.

Beans are sad emergency food.

If Iā€™m in a situation where beans are necessary, Iā€™m awfully desperate and out of options.

Everyone always laughs at hitting someone in the head with a punch/can of beans/baseball bat/2x4/karate chop/whatever and knock them out. The joke being that the person will wake in ten minutes or an hour like in the movies and theyā€™ll go about living again.

In real life if you knock someone out cold with some kind of hit to their head ā€¦ youā€™ve more than likely killed them or put them in a place where they will die within the next hour or two.

That isā€¦ Incorrect, there is about a 30% death rate within one year of brain trauma but there is absolutely no data showing that someone is going to die within an hour of being knocked unconscious more often than not, especially if they are young

Iā€™m not saying that youā€™re wrong. You sound like you might know what youā€™re talking about. I just like publications and medical evidence. I trust that you wonā€™t take it the wrong way.

That isā€¦ Incorrect, there is about a 30% death rate within one year of brain trauma [ā€¦]

Source?

[ā€¦] but there is absolutely no data showing that someone is going to die within an hour of being knocked unconscious more often than not, [ā€¦]

Do you have a metastudy or something for that?

especially if they are young

That last sentence, do you have a source for the difference in outcome depending on the patientā€™s age?

Depends where you hit and how hard. Itā€™s the emergency shutdown because of concussion. If the concussion was too hard, it can swell and then it gets dangerous. Not to mention fragile places like temple or neck.

I donā€™t think the word convulsion means what you think it means. Do you mean concussion? Concussion is only one type of head injury, though, with different grades to it.

Being knocked out is literally one step before dead and can have serious aftereffects like parts of your swollen brain dying because thereā€™s too less space for a swollen brain in your skull.

I too was once knocked out as a child and barfed 3 days afterwards with memory loss.

Take care of yourself.

It is not one step before death. Holy shit are you being dramatic.

I had a TBI as a result of a double impact - minor concussion where I didnā€™t pass out skateboarding (and didnā€™t know it), then the next day friendly fire collision with a friend in the park snowboarding. I was knocked out for five minutes, had an out of body experience, came to very aggressively with a permanent change of personality that persists to this day half a lifetime later. That being said I was nowhere near death, had a I been knocked out into a coma things would be different.

TBIs are nothing to mess with, they change you for life. ADHD like symptoms, mental health struggles, aggression and explosive anger, memory loss, gaslighting from medical professionals about the severity of the injury (the 2000s were roughā€¦) and opening yourself up to abuse by future significant others because you donā€™t trust your own memory. Never mind the struggle to maintain employment or how TBIs are invisible disabilities that are tough to get workplace accommodations for.

TBIs are serious, even when they are ā€˜mildā€™ (a complete misnomer). But being knocked out ā‰  being knocked into a coma which is one step from death. Nor does it mean youā€™re having a brain bleed. Your brain is inflamed and itā€™s key not to impact it again for a ~month while the inflammation recedes. Because I had a double impact I ended up permanently damaged. I worry about CTE and dementia later in life as Iā€™ve had other hits to the head since, including getting knocked out momentarily while riding for work.

FYI in case anyone asks - yes I wear a helmet and was wearing one the day of my TBI. Helmets donā€™t prevent concussions at all, they prevent skull fractures, punctures and lacerations. The helmet saved my life because it prevented skull fracture but more importantly laceration, as my friend collided into my head with the edge of her board first.

Youā€™re actually dead and died in that second knock out ā€¦ this is purgatory and youā€™ll be commenting like this for a few thousand years.

Iā€™m no scientist, doctor or medical professional ā€¦ I just know that its dangerous to try to knock someoneā€™s noggin really hard to try to make them pass out. Dangerous to the point that there is a good chance that it can kill someone.

Professional boxing keeps a running tally of wins via KO, if death by punch was that common I suspect it would be banned as a sport by now.

No you probably havenā€™t been knocked out multiple times for seconds. Or you have a very rare brain condition that triggers that on light taps.

28 years of snowboarding and skateboarding will do that.

I ride over 100 days a year for the last decade and used to be paid to do so. Itā€™s an occupational hazardā€¦

I got briefly knocked out skateboarding a couple times and snowboarding a couple more. Ever catch your heels? If you know you know. My TBI was skateboarding the first day and got a concussion without losing consciousness and didnā€™t know it, the second day was snowboarding and a friend landed on my head in the park. I was out for 5 minutes. Which is a relatively long time in terms of ā€˜mildā€™ head injuries.

One of my brief knock outs was when I got hit while workingā€¦ almost 20 years after the TBI. The tbi makes losing consciousness happen quicker but a lot of my brief knock outs were pre TBI.

And even if you havenā€™t killed them outright, they can have permanent disabilities.

If you, or someone you know, gets knocked out, or experiences other symptoms of a central nervous system trauma after a hit to the head, please seek medical care immediately. Itā€™s not one those ā€œtake two aspirin and letā€™s see how it goes in the morningā€ kinda things.

Iā€™m just one person, but during my life Iā€™ve seen this multiple times. I will refrain from boring you, and doxxing myself, by telling my anecdotes. Suffice it to say that I have known people who would have been dead if they hadnā€™t gone to work with a ā€œbad hangoverā€, or ended up with narcolepsy or chronic encephalopathy. And that was separate people BTW.

So I once slipped on a puddle while jogging (in the wrong place) and hit the back of my head on sedimentary tiles.
Since I had stiffened my neck, trying to stretch it backward (yes I was doing that while jogging on wet tiles), my head hit the ground hard.
After about 2 minutes, I fainted for ~10 seconds. Was fine later.

Thatā€™s the problem with anecdotal evidence. You can always find that one person who fulfills the criteria but whoā€™s outcome doesnā€™t match.

Of course you can be fine afterwards. But thereā€™s a considerable risk that youā€™re not, and experiencing symptoms of a traumatic head injury does warrant a visit to the hospital.

Of course I visited the hospital for a CT scan.

Of course Iā€™m not telling you to hit your head for fun.

This is just a fun story, not evidence for anything.
