this with his first patient Mike Webster, who was one of the best centers of all time. While examining Webster’s brain, he found that “persistent head injuries sustained in football play shake up the brain” (Ebert). This causes damage to the brain because human brains do not have shock absorbers and release proteins after each blow to the head causing head trauma. This caused Dr. Omalu to deepen his study as more dead patients came in. As his research starts to get out “his findings elicit from…
