The line that provides historical context is: "Don't hit my skull, I have a concussion."
This line indicates a broader concern about health and injury during a time when the awareness and understanding of concussions were not as developed as they are today, suggesting a specific historical context regarding medical knowledge and attitudes toward injuries.
