58 year old male patient brought in by ambulance. He was playing tennis and experienced trauma to his occiput (layman’s medical terms: back of his head) when he dived for the ball. Upon the arrival of the ambulance, patient began to be combative and gradually started losing consciousness en route. Patient was immediately sent to have CT head scan that revealed a large internal bleed underneath the surface of the skull (fancy medical term: subdural hematoma). Definite admit to Neurosurgery consult.
I give you, ridiculous elderly sports injuries.
