MDM – Head Trauma, Not Sick

MDM

This _ presents with head trauma after a mechanical GLF. DDX includes MSK trauma, facial fractures, ICH or traumatic SAH, C-spine injury. Doubt other extracranial causes of injury. Considered nonmechanical causes of fall such as syncope, primary cardiopulmonary etiologies such as ACS/PE, but think these are unlikely. Will get head/face/neck CT, pain control, C-collar, basic labs, reassess, discharge
