Got a CT scan of my head this afternoon / evening. I’ll omit the long-ish story leading up to it. Suffice it to say that I was concerned enough about still having a headache to go to a doctor and press the issue, and committed enough to sit through a four hour stint at the . . . → Read More: CT Scan

I’ve been learning about concussions. Interesting stuff: Grade 1 : The mild concussion occurs when the person does not lose consciousness (pass out) but may seem dazed.
