The French philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592) sustained a transient loss of consciousness due to a head injury. Montaigne described his concussion as a "swoon," with astutely illustrative details of the symptoms he experienced, including brief loss of consciousness, with apparent (temporary) confusion, and post-traumatic amnesia. His vivid portrayal of the recovery period lends understanding of the process of conscious awakening after his near-death experience. Thanks to his power of introspection and literary talent we may gain insight into the feelings and perceptions of some patients during their recovery from concussion.
法国哲学家米歇尔·德·蒙田(1533-1592 年)因头部受伤而短暂失去意识。蒙田将他的脑震荡描述为“昏厥”,并详细描述了他所经历的症状,包括短暂失去意识、明显(暂时)意识混乱和创伤后遗忘。他对恢复期的生动描述使我们能够理解他濒死体验后意识苏醒的过程。由于他的内省能力和文学天赋,我们可以深入了解一些患者在脑震荡康复期间的感受和认知。
