Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I have just told a complete stranger on the Internet to get her partner emergency medical care ASAP. I shouldn't have had to do this: but she shouldn't have dealt with the situation by, apparently, googling, finding an old blog thread on "A simple bump on the head can kill you," and posting to describe a concussion followed immediately by slurred speech and trouble finding words, and a day later by continuous headache and the person saying he couldn't think straight.

This is what the emergency number, NHS Direct, and maybe the Mayo Clinic website are for.

I hope she sees and follows my advice. (The person whose blog it is answered a similar comment on the same post from some months ago with "we don't dispense medical advice here, but I suggest getting him medical care." But I'm not a doctor, so the constraints on me are different and, in this case, I think lesser.)
