When I Was An Infant In 1972, My Mother Bumped

when I was an infant in 1972, my mother bumped my head on the car door when she was getting out of the car. This caused my soft spot to swell, the local hospital kept draining it with a needle... I finally got sent to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, where the doctor told my parents, that draining the fluid in the manner the local hospital was could cause brain damage. They put needles all through my head to reduce the swelling.. My grandmother told me my head looked like a pin cushion. Are you familiar with this kind of treatment and if so what is it used for. My estranged mother says she don't remember the name. I now have several mental health problems and anger issues. I was wondering if this head trauma could have a little to due with the problems I am having with my mental health.. Thank you
