The worst thing you can do is get examined by a neurologist who does not have a sound understanding of concussion.
That was one of my concerns.

Your family doctor is probably very weak in his concussion knowledge. Otherwise, he would understand your need to rest your brain.
That's why he wants me to see neurologist to see if he says just PCS and it needs time or if there is something he's missing.

Do you live near an NCAA college? Check with their sport medicine department to find out who does their concussion management.
I'm only an hour away from University of Kentucky. I think I bookmarked something from there.

btw. The neuro who wants cash up from knows how long insurance companies take to pay, especially if there is litigation involved.
Kentucky is a no fault state so my insurance pays the first $10,000 in medical bills and then recovers it from the other company later.

I have read through quite a bit at tbilaw.com and I have an appointment with an attorney in the morning as a precautionary step.
