Answers:    It's other a tough situation when you're worried about a stubborn loved one. I hold one like that myself.

Unfortunately, he have the right to refuse medical concern, even if he sure could use some neurological testing. The best you can do is to hold doing what you're doing. Make sure he's responsive and watch the wound for signs of hematoma or infection, trouble breathing, and mental status. The second he become unresponsive or confused, call an ambulance.
Explain to him the motivation why he needs to shift in the hospital.
Keep keep watch on for signs of change surrounded by mental status, vision, or change in breathing patter
