If no medical personnel are available, the parent can become more directly involved.
I'm surprised it's not a regulation for all high school athletic events that EMS must be present. Apparently the NCAA has this regulation, as is what I heard after the unfortunate incident with Derrick Roland.
Unfortunately not all schools have the luxury of having Athletic Trainers available to them at all times.

chseagle, sorry partner but you have no say in what I do if my child is injured in a game. If I choose to remain by his/her side during the entire time medical personnel are atending, that is what I will do. The best thing you can do is sit behind the scorer's table and say a prayer.
