Okay so I just whacked the back of my head on the underside of a bunk bed and then started to think about concussion.
I’ve heard horror stories of people banging their head, going to sleep and never waking up again.
What would doctors do? Do they just not let you sleep?
In: Biology
We examine you, see what your symptoms are. If necessary, we consider imaging your brain by CT (or occasionally MRI). If you have mild to moderate symptoms, and we aren’t concerned about bleeding or increased intracranial pressure, then we send you home and we have no concerns about you going to sleep.
