Hit On The Head, Asked To Take Off For 2 Weeks. Is This Right?
My daughter fell while playing basketball and hit her head on the floor 6 days ago. I have been calling her pediatrician since Saturday kept telling me that she did not need to been see by th doctor, we go to take her in Thurs (yesterday) and doctor says that she cannot release back to play for two weeks and there is a rule about that, is this true? She didn t do any exams, just said dr doesnt want to be liable and it s the rule 2 weeks?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
there is no need for further tests if there is no headache,nausea,vomiting or conciousness disorders.but this is head contusion and it is recommended form preventional reasnons not to do sports or any other intensive activity in next 2 weeks. If you notice some of the symptoms I ve mentioned you need to visit hospital.
