What To Do After Potential Head Injury?
You should visit a healthcare provider immediately after experiencing a violent jolt or closed head injury in an accident. Your doctor conducts an assessment that typically includes a neurological exam. The exam evaluates coordination, reflexes, thinking, eye movement, motor, and sensory functions. Imaging tests cannot detect all brain injuries; however, they help rule out more serious injuries. CT scans and MRIs can detect bleeding that requires medical or surgical intervention.
