Now that's funny - I don't care who you are.

Had a HS game years ago where two guys on the same time smacked heads. Back of one head to the chin of the other. Both go down. Chin boy is bleeding and is OUT. We get coaches and trainers out there and they are taking care of everything. Two men come out of the stands and ask me if they can go out on the court to "help". I ask them who they are and the one says "I am Dr. so-and-so, the director of surgery at SW Washington Medical Center, and this is my Chief Surgeon who also happens to be that players father." They went and helped.

Seems to me he had the same look that we get on our faces when someone asks us "you sure that was a block?"

Why is this such a "joke"? The kids have fun, they get exercise and display good sportsmanship. That's what rec leagues are supposed to be about. The girls get to play through their senior year and the boys are all freshman and sophomores. They play V level rec after that.

About 3/4 of the girls that start as Freshmen stay all four years and virtually all the boys play all four years. Obviously, they don't think it's a "joke" and that's what counts.

Dude, don't sweat it. Some people need to put others down to feel better about themselves. Not everyone has good meds.

Depends. People figure out very quickly that you're a doctor, so you end up being the unofficial team/league physician. I lost count of the number of injuries (on and off the field) I looked at during my son's little league years.

A lot of us bring some type of supplies or first aid kits to games.

But regarding the OP, who knows why neurosurgeons do what they do...
