Is there a doctor in the house?
 
HS JV rec this morning. Games are co-ed. Second game, middle of Q3, one of the girls gets hit really hard in the back of the head with a pass. She goes down but is not unconscious. We stop play immediately and her mom comes out of the stands. She waves for some guy to come out too. He gets down and looks at the girl, who is definitely disoriented. He pulls a little flashlight out of his coat pocket and checks her pupils. He says she seems to be OK and to go get her an ice pack. My partner asks the guy if he's sure she's OK. The guy gets this patronizing look on his face and says, "Yes, I'm sure. I'm a neurosurgeon." My partner steps back and replies, "Oh".

BTW - she was fine but did not return to the game.

"Oh, ok, you aren't wearing your hospital ID, and I didn't notice the distinctive neurosurgeon dick-ishness until you spoke. Thanks for your help!"

Or, "Yea, but I didn't know how much experience you have with cranial-contracouis-uvea-inflammation..."

With this kind of credential, he could have just as easily been a car mechanic or a termite inspector! :rolleyes:

Had the opposite happen during little league years ago. A boy gets hit in the nose and is bleeding heavily as I come upon the scene at start telling the guy helping him what to do.........someone whispers to me "he's an ear, nose and throat doctor". I sit down and shutup.

What's the difference between doctors and God?

God doesn't think he's a doctor.

OK, Juulie, you can use "she's". ;)

I don't know what that means, but I like it. Consider it stolen! :D

It's 'contrecoup'. I'm sure that's what's confusing Jug. ;)

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.:p

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