Default a diagnosis is a diagnosis?

So, when I was originally seen at the ER following the car accident, I was diagnosed with a concussion and released. I guess I was chatting up a storm, but have no memory of the time in the hospital. (FYI -- they had called helicopters to air lift me and my carmate to the nearest big hospital, but decided that I was fine). No warnings about what to look for, or when to be worried. Just, take is easy for 2 days as you'll be fine. Small country hospital in town of 1000.

I saw my doc the next day and then a few weeks later she diagnosed me with PCS from a moderate concussion.

The occupational therapist that I am now seeing says that I have been misdiagnosed from the beginning. She said something about it being a tbi. She mentioned other stuff, but I was lost in the conversation after that point.

What does this mean? Does is matter? Am I just confused? (usually, yes).
