What is “minor head traume”? How would you know for sure? I think I am willing to spend extra on CT to make sure I don’t die from head trauma. Thank you.

Everybody is. That's the problem. The "statistics of one" are powerful. Individuals are only worth so much to society. The argument is that I don't want to pay for 9,999 CT scans to save some person who has no relevance to me. (not even taking age into account; what if they are 95?) However, If I'm (or my kid) are the one person who would be saved by performing 10,000 CT in order not to miss one, then I think its money well spent!
