Section 3: Coherent Thinking & Reading Comprehension Part B

Read the article & answer the questions that follow.
A Concussions are brain injuries that occur when a person receives a blow to the head, face, or neck.
Although most people who suffer a concussion experience initial bouts of dizziness, nausea, and
drowsiness, these symptoms often disappear after a few days. The long-term effects of concussions,
however, are less understood and far more severe. Recent studies suggest that people who suffer
multiple concussions are at significant risk for developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a
degenerative brain disorder that causes a variety of dangerous mental and emotional problems to arise
weeks, months, or even years after the initial injury. These psychological problems can include
depression, anxiety, memory loss, inability to concentrate, and aggression. In extreme cases, people
suffering from CTE have even committed suicide or homicide. The majority of people who develop these
issues are athletes who participate in popular high-impact sports, especially football. Although new
sports regulations and improvements in helmet technology can help protect players, amateur leagues,
the sports media, and fans all bear some of the responsibility for reducing the incidence of these
devastating injuries.
B Improvements in diagnostic technology have provided substantial evidence to link severeand often
fatalpsychological disorders to the head injuries that players receive while on the field. Recent
autopsies performed on the brains of football players who have committed suicide have shown advanced
cases of CTE in every single victim.
C In response to the growing understanding of this danger, the National Football League (NFL) has revised
its safety regulations. Players who have suffered a head injury on the field must undergo a concussion
sideline assessmenta series of mental and physical fitness testsbefore being allowed back in the
game. In an effort to diminish the amount of head and neck injuries on the field, NFL officials began
enforcing stricter penalty calls for helmet-to-helmet contact, leading with the head, and hitting a
defenceless player. Furthermore, as of 2010, if a players helmet is accidentally wrenched from his head
during play, the ball is immediately whistled dead. It is hoped that these new regulations, coupled with
advances in helmet design, will reduce the number of concussions, and thus curb further cases of CTE.
D Efforts by the NFL and other professional sports leagues are certainly laudable; we should commend
every attempt to protect the mental and physical health of players. However, new regulations at the
professional level cannot protect amateur players, especially young people. Fatal cases of CTE have been
reported in victims as young as 21. Proper tackling formusing the arms and shoulders to aim for a
players midsectionshould be taught at an early age. Youth, high school, and college leagues should
also adopt safety rules even more stringent than those of the NFL. Furthermore, young athletes should
be educated about the serious dangers of head injuries at an early age.
E Perhaps the most important factor in reducing the number of traumatic brain injuries, however, lies not
with the players, the coaches, or the administrators, but with the media and fans. Sports media
producers have become accustomed to showcasing the most aggressive tackles and the most intense
plays. NFL broadcasts often replay especially violent collisions while the commentators marvel at the
players physical prowess. Some sports highlights television programs even feature weekly countdowns
of the hardest hits. When the media exalts such dangerous behaviour, professionals are rewarded for
injuring each other on the field and amateurs become more likely to try to imitate their favourite NFL
athletes. Announcers, commentators, television producers, and sportswriters should engage in a
collective effort to cease glorifying brutal plays. In turn, fans should stop expecting their favourite players
to put their lives on the line for the purposes of entertainment. Players must not be encouraged to trade
their careers, their health, their happiness, and even their lives for the sake of a game.

Australias Royal Flying Doctor Service

Although Australia has roughly the same area as the United States, it supports a population that is less than
10 per cent of the total US population. The reason is that one-third of the country is mainly desert, another
third is classified as arid and much of the rest contains soil with few nutrients. Consequently, the inland is
very sparsely populated and those who live and work there do not have access to the facilities that urban
Australians have always taken for granted. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has over the past century
provided medical service to those in the outback, as inland Australia is generally known. The service has
made a huge contribution to the settlement of outback Australia, a blessing for scattered populations in
times of medical emergency.
The first person to champion the need for an airborne medical service in the outback was John Flynn (1880-
1951). A church minister working in remote settlements, Flynn followed up on an idea first proposed in 1918
by a correspondent Lieutenant J Clifford Peel of the Australian Flying Corps. Flynn took up the case for a
service after helping to establish nursing homes in several outback towns. In his opinion, the patient should
receive a doctors visit rather than face the risk of further injury or illness by being forced to travel over
inadequate roads to hospitals which could be several days journey away.
Flynns undertaking got the support of his church and government officials and public donations began to
come in. On 15 May 1928, the Australian Inland Mission Aerial Medical Service commenced business in
Cloncurry, Queensland and two days later the first flight took off. What was later to be called the Royal Flying
Doctor Service was born. In its first year of operation, the service attended to 255 patients.
The effectiveness of the Flying Doctor is in its wide reach and it wasnt long before it was expanding across
the country. The goldfields of Western Australia had aircraft support for serious emergencies from 1931,
although it was 1937 before the region officially had a Flying Doctor section. In 1935, Port Hedland got its
service as did the Kimberley region with the help of Victorian philanthropists.
When the Flying Doctor started out, aviation equipment and facilities were still in their infancy. With no
navigation aids on board or on the ground, pilots had to find their way using landmarks. Night flying was only
considered in the most urgent of cases. Airstrips were rudimentary at best and sufficient fuel had to be
carried for the return trip. It was left to the pilot to decide if a landing could be made safely.
In its early days, the Flying Doctor contracted aircraft owners and pilots to fly its medical staff where they
were needed. The first contract was with Qantas, which leased out a four-passenger DH.50A along with
equipment and staff at a rate of two shillings (A$0.40) per mile (1.6km). That plane, named Victory, went on
to fly 110,000 miles for the Flying Doctor until 1934. In 1949, the contract was transferred to Trans-Australia
Airlines.
It was only in the 1960s that the RFDS had begun purchasing its own aircraft and was employing pilots and
engineers directly. While the early aircraft were predominantly British, later models were American in design
and manufacture. From single-piston engines to turbo props, from exposed cockpits to pressurised cabins
also fitted out as flying intensive care units, the machines of the Flying Doctor have steadily advanced along
with the aviation industry itself. The name, too, was to evolve over time. In 1942, the Australian Inland
Mission Aerial Medical Service became the Flying Doctor Service and in 1954 it was given a Royal Charter.
The RFDS now owns more than 50 modern aircraft operating from 21 bases throughout Australia flying the
equivalent of 25 round trips to the moon each year. The flying doctors and nurses serve more than a quarter
of a million people spread over the wide, open spaces of outback Australia. The RFDS is a non-profit
organisation, its operations are funded by Commonwealth and State governments, public donations and
corporate sponsorships.
The Flying Doctor has been a huge boon for the settlers of the outback. It has given endless comfort to far-
flung populations who are the much safer in the knowledge that despite the distances involved, help in a
medical emergency in not far away.
