Shouldn't I have been able to see the doctor soon after being injured, granted it was not a life-threatening injury, but it was to my head and neck

You are absolutely entitled to go to a doctor right away. If your employer prohibited you from seeing a doctor, you may have an additional claims against them under Labor Code section 132a.
