Trauma resource basically means going to a Level1 trauma center and getting immediately looked at by the surgeons. If he fell hard enough to black out, then there's a good chance there's something wrong in the brain now, some kind of trauma.
I'd like to try and explain to him, that if he fell and then just remembers waking up that there's a possibility he may have injured his brain or his neck, and that moving around as in walking, can injure it even more, which may lead to paralysis or death. And would like to take cervical precautions (C-Collar/Backboard). If he's adamant in refusing it, I obviously can't force him to do it, but he seems agreeable to going to the ER at this point, so I'll keep him as relaxed as I can.
Any family around, is this man normally this anxious?
