Drinkeii-
Well since you addressed one of my qoutes, I will address my answer better to you. I have been a Paramedic for almost 20 years (Coast Guard Flight Medic).... I have been trained to pluck people off sides of mountains, out of freezing water and then fly them back hundreds of miles for hours on end. DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT HUMAN COMPASSION.
When in the capacity of officiating and someone gets injured I assess the situation, at most of our HS games there are EMT's on site. I have higher training than most of them, But they are there to do a job, same as myself.
I have talked to lawyers on this subject because I do have a lot of human compassion. In my case, If a player has an Airway, is Breathing, and has Circulation, and no threat to Life, Limb or Vision....I am there as an Official and nothing else. Does that make me cold blooded and heartless.
One other note! Most of Lawyers, Judges, and fans where I officiate know what I do at my day job.
