A head injury

Notice in an A & E Department:

'No head injury is too trivial to be ignored'.

That's good isn't it? The NHS in action.

I was trying to think of a better way to put it.

Perhaps -

'A head injury should never be ignored, no matter how trivial'

or even simply -

'No head injury should be ignored'...

Cheers,

With the original emphasis -

No head injury is so trivial as to be ignored.

I have no head injury. Should I ignore it because it is so trivial?

I'm banging my head against the wall trying to work this out!

Place a pillow in the basket and your head should be fine.
