Q: Is it safe for a doctor to become a professional boxer?
A: As long as the doctor is consciously aware of the consequences and risks involved, it may be fine. However, the biggest concern is the potential damage to the brain, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy, due to repetitive hits to the head.
Q: Which sports are most affected by chronic traumatic encephalopathy?
A: Boxing is not the number one offender, but it's still a concern. The ones who have the worst forms of CTE are often those who've taken the most hits to the head, which is a risk that needs to be considered.
