Everyone should take concussions seriously. A concussion is an injury to the brain caused by a blow to the head. Some concussion
s are mild, and the person is fine after a few days. The person might only get a headache or feel tired. Other concussions are serious and can result in permanent brain damage. If you think you may have a concussion, you should see a doctor immediately. Read the passage. Then, select the quotation that could be added to the passage to give it the most credibility.
