Should I go to the doctor/hospital after being in a car accident?!
Question: A lady rear ended my escape yesterday morning and I hit my head off the steering wheel and my knee went into the dash. My knee is not of concern because it is not painful and just a little black and blue. I had a little bit of a headache all day but contributed it to the stress of the accident. Last night when I went to bed though my ear started hurting and is still hurting somewhat today. I still have a little bit of a headache still. Am I being a sissy to go or should I?

Sissy or not, sometimes the dullest pain could be due to something you really ought to get checked out. If nothing else at least you'll get peace of mind knowing that it's not something you need to be worrying about.
Yes, you are being a sissy not going.
Get checked out. You need this (minimally) documented.
You only have one brain and C-spine.
Get a move on this one.
You should go. The lady rear-ended you, if you got her insurance information, you should be covered. You don't have to suffer in silence. Get help.
