Shane Tuck
’s widow has suggested that Shane wasn’t properly treated or managed for concussion during his AFL career.
Shane tragically took his own life and the autopsy discovered he had CTE.
The coroner is saying they don’t see it as their job to apportion blame in this tragic event but is more interested to see how concussion is currently managed in sport.
So, should the coroner be looking more deeply at how Shane was treated or do we consider looking towards the future treatment and management of concussion to be more acceptable?
To me, we should be looking deeply at the case of Shane Tuck
as to what can be learnt from it and then incorporating this in future concussion treatment and management processes.
Certainly it can’t be ignored though if there were mistakes which must be learnt from.
