Wikipedia has a short summary of Jamie Carey's career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Carey.
People like to cite her case and argue that Stanford's doctors were too conservative in not clearing her to play, since she later played successfully at Texas and in the WNBA, but from what I've read online in other places about how severe her symptoms were -- she never really fully recovered -- I think Stanford's decision was very reasonable. If you google her name you'll find lots of articles. The one that was most telling for me was a 2007 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, but they seem to have moved that article behind a pay wall since I read it.
