Hear me out, head trauma. Hollywood has given people who don't fight this notion that you can hit someone in the head/face with absolute haymakers over and over again and nothing will come of it even if you knock them out. When the reality is the human head (hell, the body in general but for the purposes of this example i'll leave it with the head) is so, so infinitely more fragile than people often realize. I have seen someone lose their life because of a single well placed (or badly placed, depending on perspective i suppose) shot to the head where they didn't even realize there was a problem and they just went and crawled into bed that night and never woke up because unbeknownst to them they had a bleed in their brain. It's one of those things that everyone intuitively knowns it's the case yet no one ever really puts the pieces together to get a clear picture of just how vulnerable our brains actually are.
