Back when I was coaching I had a player with a shunt. It was to help drain fluid from the brain. I always kept the medical documentation with me clearing him to play.

The other night I had a player with a hard cast. During warmup I call him over to look at his hand. Under the tape is a hard cast. I tell the coach he can't play. He says to me but he has played the last six games and no one stopped him. The kid walks over to the bench and takes the cast off and retapes his hand. I was stunned.
Classic!!
First game of the season in this league I'm working, one young man asks if he can play with a cast on his hand. I say no. He immediately begins working his coach, the league director, everybody who'll listen. He gets nowhere. He picks up his cell phone and calls his mother for permission to cut it off so he can play. She says no. He calls his dad. Unreal
