If a child suffers a blow to the head should they be evaluated by the dr.?
If there is any doubt: Yes. Any blow to the head can be very dangerous. If there is a lump, if they feel dizzy, or nauseous, or light-headed, those are signs and symptoms of a possible concussion. If they throw up, go the the ER immediately.
It also depends on the age of the child as well, the younger they are, the more serious it can be and symptoms can progress very quickly if things start to go wrong.
What does minimal bleeding from head wound mean?
It does not mean much more than if you had a minimal bleeding on a wound elsewhere.
Minimal is good, and it should form a crust within short time.
If it does not form a crust and carry on bleeding for hours upon hours, then I would suggest you have somebody to have a look at it.
Can someone develop Asperger's Syndrome after a head injury?
No, a person cannot develop Autism from a head injury.
A person is born Autistic, it is a difference in their neurology, it's not something that can be developed later in life. Head injuries can cause all sorts of symptoms, some may be similar to characteristics of Autism but this is very unlikely.
Does workmans comp cover a head injury after fainting on the job?
I had a slip and fall at work 12/23/06 and now have permanent TBI and closed head injury. Can you tell me how to check with the state of Kansas for the status of the claim. I lived and worked in Overland Park, KS at the time. My atty really didn't go after the company although I have the surveillance tape. I was thinking he closed the case but now that I'm better I'm wondering how he could have closed it without any documentation to me. Can I check the status by my social security number?

CONCUSSION
A patient who has suffered concussion may exhibit signs of confusion. For example, they may ask the same questions over and over again and appear disorientated. If patients show signs of focal neurological deficits (problems with the nerves that affect specific areas of the face or brain) this may suggest that an area of the brain isn't functioning normally.
