That's fine. Be there if you choose. Just accept the consequences of your actions like any other in life.
I must ask if you going to insist upon remaining by your child's side in the operating room too, and during the transport? If not, are you being consistent in your stance? I guess that I don't see why do you believe that you must stand right there and hover over the medical personnel on the basketball court, but not in the trauma ward at the local hospital?
Would you tell the doctors at the hospital that they cannot treat your child without you physically present in the room? I think that you are failing to see the big picture. For some reason you, like many others, are fixated on the emergency situation happening on a basketball court and somehow feel compelled to be right next to the scene. Got news for you, if your kid is injured in a car wreck and taken to the hospital via ambulance from the scene, you may not see your child until after the surgeon is finished. The most that you might get is a doctor/hospital administrator coming out into the hallway to fill you in on the situation and ask you to sign a treatment permission form. You actually getting to go back and see your kid is unlikely, if the situation is unstable.
