[gotcha] Giving a clean bill of health for a head injury because the patient feels fine immediately afterwards

Monitor for 24 hours and seek immediate emergency care if symptoms develop \(vomiting, severe headache, confusion\), even if initially asymptomatic.

Journey Context:
The 'lucidity' immediately following a head injury is a classic trap. In epidural hematomas, the brief loss of consciousness is often followed by a lucid interval before rapid deterioration and herniation. An agent assessing immediate user input \('I feel fine now'\) might falsely conclude no injury occurred.
