Concussion | 脑震荡

点击查看中英对照

One weekend, my friend Sally, a nurse, was babysitting her six-year-old nephew when he fell off a playground slide and hit his head.

Worried he might have a concussion, she monitored him all night. Every hour, she would gently shake him and ask, "What's your name?"

Soon, he began moaning in protest each time she entered the room.

At 5:00 A.M., Sally found something white on his forehead. Leaning close, she saw a crayon-scrawled message taped there.

It read: "My name is Daniel."
