We welcome Dr. Thomas Schumann, primary care sports medicine physician to the show for his first time to talk about veteran NHL defenseman, for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kris Letang. Letang just had a second stroke during his career as a hockey player, but was able to return to play in less than two weeks! We talk about what exactly a stroke is, different kinds of strokes, why Letang was able to come back so quickly, and why he is susceptible. We also compare this type of brain injury to the more common sports injury, concussion.
