How many of you have medical training?
Hello all. We had an incident last night that prompted me to come to you for advice:
Officiating a middle school boys basketball game. Wednesday night game so very few fans in the stands. One of the visiting players falls hard and is very hesitant to get up. He is holding his arm and in a lot of pain.
I'm pretty young, and the home coach is also a college student. So the visiting coach took control of the situation and asked, "Is there a trainer here? Do you guys (the home team) have a trainer here?" They didn't.
Luckily, one of the dads came out of the bleachers and announced that he is a firefighter. He took the kid and helped him to the bench and the school custodian found an ice pack. We found out after the game that the kid was more scared and shaken up than anything.
It got me to thinking... do any of you have medical training? Would you take the training if it were offered to you?
Thank you for your advice!
