President's Message:
Dear Members:
On September 24th our section offered a mini conference entitled, "Concussion Policy and Sports Medicine Update". Dr. Howard Taras and Dr. Pritha Dalal spoke to us about head injury, concussion, the school nurse's role and the school's role in managing these injuries. Dr. Dalal, a rehabilitation doctor at Rady's, introduced a new form that Rady's has developed that addresses all aspects of concussion and return to learn. This note targets symptoms, suggests accommodations, and states "if there are any symptoms that concern you, or are getting worse, notify the student's parents that the student should be seen by a healthcare provider as soon as possible" We were told that the majority of concussions for adolescent athletes resolve in 7-10 days. Dr. Dalal then went on to speak about the concussion clinic at Rady's and the work done there. Dr. Taras also addressed new AED laws, heat illness first aid protocols and use of equipment (crutches, wheelchairs, nebulizers) by students. Everyone learned so much, and earned contact hours, for a very reasonable cost ($20 for CSNO members).
Finally, please remember to be kind to yourself and to practice self-care. Those "to do" lists will grow, as will the demands of your job. Please remember to take breaks, go for a walk, practice mindfulness and breathe! You all are making a huge difference in the lives of those in your community. It's important to take care of you, too!

Take care,
Maggie
San DIego/imperial Section President
