A member asked:
Can my doctor release me to return to work after a head injury in which all he did was remove the staples, he didn't no exam of me. is that normal?

Work return: Typically in my practice clearing a head injury for work or activity return involves a thorough clinical history, physical exam and perhaps specialist testing if a concussion is suspected. I cannot comment on your doctor but perhaps he had gathered enough information in the interval office visits that he did not require further testing.

Get them removed: In follow up visit , scalp staples are left longer especially head injury related , speak to your doctor for explanation.

See 2nd opinion: Whether you are ready to resume normal activity is more related to your responses on mental status exam and your.Interval history than results of a physical exam. Discuss the decision process or see a neurologist with tbi experience.
