Couple of comments from a (hopefully) doctor-to-be.
Officials often get sued or threatened with legal action for "allowing" injuries to occur during a game. Unless the injury is life threatening, I wouldn't get involved - lest I be sued for 2 different things.
Also, I had a tough situation a few weeks back when I hit a player in the head chopping in the clock (I've now switched to the women's NCAA mechanic). Worst part was that she was a friend and fellow official. My first reaction was to see if she was okay, but our assignor told me to just get out of situations like those - you never know how someone will react.
