Here are the symptoms of "Shaken Adult Syndrome"

1.He would have had intraocular hemorrhaging that would probably still be evident.
2.He would have had patterned bruising to both upper extremeties.
3.He would have SOME sort of subdural hematoma..easily diagnosed by CT.

Yet ANOTHER reason the man should have been evaluated by an ER doc before going to the Police Station.
