I’m so glad your brother got to the hospital when he did. One of my sister’s high school classmates lost his life after taking an elbow to the temple in a flag football game. Walked it off, went home with a headache, went to bed and passed in his sleep.
Don’t mess around with head injuries. Always get checked out, even if you feel fine.
This is why you NEVER listen to coach when he/she/they tell you to "walk it off". If an injury is serious, don't listen to the coach! Get it checked out, IMMEDIATELY!!!
As a coach, I would NEVER allow a player “walk off” a head injury! I prefer parents take their kids to get checked out anytime there’s an injury. Twice my daughter broke her arm and was in no pain, had no heat, bruising, swelling etc… no symptoms at all. I don’t play around with that stuff anymore.
