Manage episode 424143901 series 3445750
Dr. Niamh Lynch and Dr. John Caird join us to discuss the critical subject of concussions in children, particularly those who are active in sports. Their professional journeys, from Dr. Lynch's path from the University College Cork to a paediatric neurology fellowship in Vancouver, to Dr. Caird's extensive dual practice in paediatric and adult neurosurgery, provide rich insights into the complexities of treating brain injuries and neurological conditions. Together, they illuminate the importance of recognizing and managing concussions, emphasizing that while scans aren't used for diagnosis, specialized treatments like vestibular physiotherapy play a crucial role in recovery.
This episode is filled with personal anecdotes and reflections from our podcast journey. We share our memorable moments, behind-the-scenes bloopers, and the laughter that has made recording this season a joy. Katie shares her exciting summer plans, including a family trip to France, and even Buddy, her dog, has his holiday lined up! We also take a trip down memory lane, recalling our favourite guests like Anna Geary, Orla Franklin, and Audrey Hamilton, who have left an indelible mark with their inspiration and authenticity.
We touch on diverse and impactful topics ranging from childhood epilepsy syndromes to the significance of monitoring a baby's head circumference for signs of hydrocephalus. John and Niamh provide valuable advice on managing concussion risks and the proactive measures in sports to prevent head injuries. Tune in, laugh with us, learn from the experts, and get ready for a summer of Baby Tribe shorts with Afif and Anne!
