I'd go along with the idea of observing, possibly in the department. As to
transfer, if transferring a head injury for observation, best to transfer to
a facility with on site CT in any case, even if this means a longer transfer
time (better to have the longer transfer before rather than after the
patient deteriorates and the indication for CT becomes apparent).
