A member asked:

Can a man stay conscious while being struck in head with maglite multiple times violently if he recieved fracture of the left frontal zygomatic suture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It's possible. It depends on the force and angle. If he doesn't lose consciousness, there's still the danger of a concussion or bleed within the skull.
