I suppose it depends on what incompetent doc may be working the emerg when you come in but it is simply not true. They would go through the protocol but not automatically stamp you with the concussion label.
When you're dealing with atheletes who make boat loads of money and consider the pressure to get players back into the lineup quickly and counter that with doctors not wanting to be sued for malpractice... the doctor is going to be careful and say the pro athlete was concussed.
