Bob Saget died from head trauma, family says

Bob Saget, who was found dead in his Orlando, Florida hotel room last month, died from the result of a head trauma, according to a statement from his family.

"The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep," the statement said. "No drugs or alcohol were involved."

1. How terrible!

That’s what killed my cousin’s wife the week before the pandemic started. She fell backwards in the yard. Said she felt okay except for a little headache, went to bed, and had a massive stroke during the night. My cousin found her the next morning. We are all still in shock.

2. OMG. Poor Bob.

A head injury is nothing to dismiss. Unfortunately, most of us would probably blow it off.

3. How

Would anybody know if it’s anything serious enough to go to the ER over?

4. and waits for non trauma patients are long even during slower times at the ER

a few years ago, I had wait awhile at the ER after I was rear ended, and I didn't much from insurance to cover anything besides fixing the small damage to the car and ER bill

5. Mayo Clinic:

Seek emergency care for an adult or child who experiences a head injury and signs and symptoms such as:

Repeated vomiting or nausea
A loss of consciousness lasting longer than 30 seconds
A headache that gets worse over time
Fluid or blood draining from the nose or ears
Vision or eye disturbances, such as pupils that are bigger than normal (dilated pupils) or pupils of unequal sizes
Ringing in the ears that doesn't go away
Weakness in the arms or legs
Appearing very pale for longer than an hour
Changes in behavior
Confusion or disorientation, such as difficulty recognizing people or places
Slurred speech or other changes in speech
Obvious difficulty with mental function or physical coordination
Changes in physical coordination, such as stumbling or clumsiness
Seizures or convulsions
Lasting or recurrent dizziness
Symptoms that worsen over time
Large head bumps or bruises on areas other than the forehead in children, especially in infants under 12 months of age

I think it's probably more problematic if you're alone and don't have someone with you to insist that you see a doc.
