[quote=Anonymous]They can’t do much except monitor for a concussion. For a mild concussion (no loss of consciousness, no vomiting) they recommend just rest and ice. I would avoid the radiation of a CT scan unless warranted. Treatment if it IS serious is basically drilling into skull to remove pressure. It’s very limited what they can do except in most severe cases. And banging you head sounds like not major — usually requires something falling (you or an object) for serious concussion. Now if you are bleeding you may need stitches, so urgent care may be useful. But of you say you are concussed they will send you to ED to wait there because of liability risk. [/quote]
