A member asked:
For what length of time can someone remain unconscious from a closed head injury (blow to the head)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be permanent: A blow to the head can result in permanent coma, even death. This is why blunt force trauma from punches and kicks can be so threatening.
