thats exactly what i thought. but my first neuro appointment isn't until November 25th. however, a spot should come up before then (so i've been told). i think my doctor wants me to do ct first and then by the time i see the neuro if i'm still having symptoms he'll recommend an mri. here's the thing. my family doctor doesn't even know what a "mild traumatic brain injury" is. he asked me what it is! i responded "its like a concussion".
