Injury Report: Bryan Little

Everyone's brain heals at different rates. Something I learned going through a TBI (traumatic brain injury, cerebral contusion, minor skull fractures) myself. I remember having vertigo on a daily basis whenever I would push myself physically shortly thereafter. I no longer have vertigo thankfully enough, but it took a slow and methodical approach from a group of people including a physiotherapist aswell as a neuro psychologist to assist me. I want to say that it took me roughly 8-10 months to rid myself of the vertigo symptom. And that's just doing basic day to day stuff. I wish Little all the best going forward since I can absolutely relate to him.

And if there are concussion related symptoms as well as the vertigo, wouldn’t that make the recovery more difficult?
 
Blasted ear drum is pretty standard stuff and it will grow back. I have blasted mine twice and I am totally fine.

Finnish press claimed he has brain bleed which is much more serious. I really hope he will be ok as a person and secondly as a player.

Jesus, that's why you should keep the ear guards on your helmet. I had a friend who took a deflected slapshot in the ear two summers ago, not even that hard of a shot. He had to go to the hospital to get it stitched back on. He put his ear guards back on his helmet the very next game; Little should do the same once he's healed up and recovered.

Ehlers has got to get his shot down, that shot had no chance to go in at all. Hoping Little gets better ASAP, Ehlers should be buying him dinners for the next 6 months on the road.

It was deflected.

It doesn't look like it was deflected at all, even if it was it was (video looks like otherwise) it was going high the moment Ehlers shot it. Not intentional obviously; I feel bad for Little, just no luck for him.

If you go to the 52 second mark of the video it looks like it goes off #19's stick to me.

You can't blame something like this on Ehlers, as he's just doing his job. Sometimes a shot is deflected high, or a shot gets away from you. The last thing Ehler's would want --is to injure a fellow teammate.

Wouldn’t they count the stitches for medically relevant reasons though? Maybe not, just struck me a little weird.

”We used 15 instruments in this surgery and now we have 14-15 accounted for.”

”Yes, my wife is pregnant with like 1-2 kids.”

”We gave him some pills for the pain, like 2-3.”

I think you’re over analyzing this...

Can't blame Ehlers at all. The risk of flying pucks is always there.

Maurice says he expects a full recovery. The eardrum will heal. If the vertigo doesn’t go away that could be a problem.

I'd be more concerned about the reports about intracranial bleeding, but perhaps those weren't accurate?

Doesn’t appear the brain bleeding reports were accurate but who knows. Would they have released him from hospital this soon if that was the case?

i can confirm that report was accurate. Just maybe overstated. Not sure why the team elected not to release that. But my source (who i work with) has direct knowledge of most the info which they got from a direct relative of Little. I wont say anymore out of respect. If you actually care you can message me. But the good news is he is released and resting at home and will make a recovery. Long term obviously though recovery wise

___________________________________

As a post by a neurologist said on here -- if you have bleeding under the skull, your in some trouble, and many people die from that. As he said, if that was the case the Cat Scan would have picked that up. Also he'd be in big pain from blood accululating under the skull and putting pressure on the brain.

From reported symptoms -- it's more of a surface cut, as the neurolgist posted.

Quite likely he'll be fine.

Based on the mechanism of injury and the news report, I think he has a cerebral contusion, basically a bruise in the brain.

That intracranial injury would be a separate issue from the laceration to the scalp and/or external ear, which required stitches (it’s not important to count the number of stitches exactly, so the estimated number is no surprise), and the ruptured ear drum.

Little wouldn’t likely have been kept in hospital unless there was intracranial bleeding (the contusion I’m suspecting he has). A scalp injury and ruptured eardrum wouldn’t require observation.

Cat scan doesn't show as much as a MRI , i bet he got a Cat scan at St.B then a MRI at HSC . That's how it went for me anyway .
