Or may e not – the study did not look at anyone’s history or anything about the symptoms they had: Use of head CT scans in ERs more than doubles over 15 years
When I fractured my skull, around age 12, they made an appointment to have my head X-rayed (not CT imaging) FIVE DAYS LATER. It was found that I had a 5″ (25 cm) long fracture from my left temple to back behind my left ear. I was later, retroactively diagnosed has likely having a brain bleed.
I was sent home after the initial contact, X-rayed the following week, and then kept in bed at home for weeks.
