He pulls a little flashlight out of his coat pocket and checks her pupils. He says she seems to be OK and to go get her an ice pack. My partner asks the guy if he's sure she's OK. The guy gets this patronizing look on his face and says, "Yes, I'm sure. I'm a neurosurgeon." My partner steps back and replies, "Oh".
BTW - she was fine but did not return to the game.

Had the opposite happen during little league years ago. A boy gets hit in the nose and is bleeding heavily as I come upon the scene at start telling the guy helping him what to do.........someone whispers to me "he's an ear, nose and throat doctor". I sit down and shutup.
