Almost certainly. That's why not doing so is used as a clear example of malpractice and negligence - the standard of care says to check for those kinds of issues given the situation and that's what nearly every doctor will therefore do.
Falling certainly carries more health risks as you're older, but young people aren't immune, and the same is true for heart attacks. That's the point of the analogy. The skater concussion scenario is obviously ridiculous to highlight how the heart attack scenario is also ridiculous.

Any ER would check for a concussion in that circumstance, as I can attest from experience.

Concussion isn’t age related though, so the circumstance isn’t comparable.
