“Do you need a CT after a head injury?”
I got a head injury yesterday. Do you need a CT after a head injury?

Not always, unless there was a concussion, dizziness, or nausea. Precautions against malpractice may cause some to order the CT as protection. I generally would examine the patient and, if anything abnormal, would get the scan. Otherwise, I would do watchful waiting.
Probably yes.
You have to follow concussion protocol. Any issues visit ER.
