Yes, I have actively read those postings (diabetic siesure) ... and have NO PROBLEM saying NO PLAYING TIME for an athlete who has been (or appeared) unconscious without being given a physician's written approval prior to his/her return to the court.
It is unconscionable and unethical (as also mentioned on the diabetic thread) to think of any other option in these scenarios. I do not base my judgment on the fear of a lawsuit. In fact, to the contrary, I will eagerly defend a sensible, prudent, and responsible decision of holding the player out for his safety rather than one that I justify my ignorance by stating that the "letter of the rules" took precedence over common sense.
BTW: My wife works in the Rehab field so I often see the results of poor judgments in regards to risk over safety.
