Description
"One day in 2002, the fifty-year-old body of the one-time All-Pro center for the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Webster was laid on a cold table in front of pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu. Webster had experienced depression, confusion, and violent mood swings near the end of his life. But when Dr. Omalu first cut into Webster's brain, it appeared to be normal. Then he began studying slides of Webster's brain tissue. And the world of contact sports would never be the same. In Webster's brain, Dr. Omalu unexpectedly observed shriveled brain cells and unique threads of brown proteins. These would become the key diagnosing signatures of the haunting brain disease he had just discovered--a disease he later named Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Startled by his findings, he suspected a disturbing connection to Webster's memory loss and suicidal tendencies. As the evidence grew, there could be no doubt. He knew that the multiple concussions Webster sustained in his football career led directly to this end. But Dr. Omalu didn't know that to speak up against America's favorite and most lucrative sport could mean the end of his own career--and propel him into a high-stakes international debate."--,Provided by publisher.
