140. Exactly
I had a friend whose ten year old son had a bump on his head and they went straight to the ER.

ER released him but called him back a week later to take another CT scan. And later sent him for yet more tests that friend might not have thought of going to do.

With children, the medical establishment is really careful, really, really careful with kids. They don't want to get sued.

Adults have to realize that about themselves if they sustain a head injury. One can just picture them not going in with a comparable bump. Or Natasha R. - had it been one of her kids, she'd have taken the treatment and demanded it, most likely.
