Answer 5

Well, a neurosurgeon is specialized in surgically treating the brain (excise cancer, repair burst aneurysms, and the like...)

But sudden trauma is first evaluated by emergency personnel who know a bit of neurology. They need this info to assess things like reflexes- and how dangerous the patients' situation is... triage.

Triage- processed by priority. For example: a heart attack victim needs immediate attention as opposed to a skin rash case.
