My friend just fell down a flight of stairs. Rolled 3 times and wacked his head on the floor at the bottom. He has a nasty purple lump on the back of his head. He is refusing to go to the hospital because he doesnt like doctors. What do I do? I have ice on his head and am keeping him awake, but he keeps falling asleep. Do I drag him to the Doctor or what.? 

Worse thing to do when someone hits their head hard is let them fall asleep. Drag his butt! 

Yes, cause an ambulance wouldn't be able to take him if he's refusing medical treatment. Most likely a concussion, but it would be worse if theres bleeding in the brain causing intracranial pressure which surgery is required to relieve the pressure or death can occur. 

Head Injury Treatment 

Does he know certain things? Name, birthday, the date (month, year, etc). If he knows all that it's probably not a concussion. Swelling on the outside is much better, that *generally* means there is no swelling on the inside. Keep him awake, play a game or watch a movie, do something that interest/entertains him as to help keep his attention. 

Umm, being able to answer questions doesn't mean he doesn't have a concussion. My husband was able to answer all his questions after falling down our stairs, but still had a concussion and then 4 staples in his head at that! 

Your husband can't help you drag him to the ER? Dr. Hollz thinks its wise that he gets to the ER. 

No, your right, it could still be a concussion, but the question thing can give you a pretty good estimate of the severity of a concussion... 

Not to be insensitive, but you happened to be the one that wrote a post about your best friend, her husband and a male friend. Was that really about you and "your male friend?" just wondering. 

LOL. Good call Hollz, except for a second I thought you were talking to me and I was like "ahhhh whaaaa?!?!?!?!" lol. 

Good call hollz I was thinking same thing 

Was that really about you and "your male friend?"

Seriously!! And what was he doing upstairs to begin with? Just wondering.
