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 they’ll go about living again.
In real life if you knock someone out cold with some kind of hit to their head … you’ve more than likely killed them or put them in a place where they will die within the next hour or two.
That is… 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
I’m not saying that you’re wrong. You sound like you might know what you’re talking about. I just like publications and medical evidence. I trust that you won’t take it the wrong way.

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 patient’s age?

This thread is like getting hit in the head with a can of beans.

And it’s not on me to find the burden of truth for you. That’s a logical fallacy and a bad arguing tactic
You’re going too far in the opposite direction
