I believe I fall into a different catagory than most on this issue. I was in the health care profession for nearly 30 years. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and perform CPR in this situation. I recently had a kid dislocate his patella while fielding a ground ball. I evauated him quickly, determined what the problem was then stood back. Because of my training, I was able to keep the situation under control in a very calm fashion. For the most part, I won't intervene during an injury time out, unless it's a serious injury. For the most part, it's not our job to intervene, in fact, most say not to, including NASO. You have to be aware of the potiential risk vs. benefit, especially in today's sue happy society. I would suggest checking with your local association on how they want you to handle these situations.
