If by police intervention, so be it.

Anyone in the medical profession lives by the Hippocratic Oath, if harm is being done by someone being in their way, they have the right to have that person removed regardless of who that person is. If a parent gets in the way of a medical professional trying to save their child's life, & the medical professional cannot do their duty due to the interference, the parent can have charges brought against them (the charge would vary depending on the juridictional rules/regulations).

I DGAF what training you have had. You try to physically stop a parent from getting to their child, you're asking for pain. Take it to court and roll the dice with the jury.

That said, we're not talking life threatening injuries on the court. But if we are, I'll be by my child's side while they treat him/her. And you did say you'd physically try to prevent that parent from getting onto the court. I'm telling you not to try it, for your own safety. You may have had crowd control training, but you have no idea what training that parent has had.

Chances are, we're talking about leg, arm, or maybe head injuries that are not life threatening. Again, do not get in my way. And if, as a first responder, you do not respond to my directions with regard to treatment, expect to lose your license for treating a minor without parental consent.
