Offer suggestions or not?
Our crew had an interesting decision to make tonight. Before I get into it we decided to keep our mouths shut.
Sitch...a team from somewhere in Maryland (Patterson Mill - where ever that is) came across two state lines to have a scrimmage here in New Jersey. A kid gets hurt near the end of the scrimmage (last series of 10 plays) and the trainer wanted to take him to a hospital as a precaution. The kid's mother was not in attendance (~25 fans or so actually made the trek to watch the scrimmage). Our crew knows the area well as I myself lives about 10 minutes away from the school. I know the hospitals in the area. A couple really, really suck and there are a couple of quality hospitals and we know where they are and how to get there. There was an ambulance and if you know what you're doing you can usually tell them what hospital to go to. The one hospital we were 95% certain they would go to is so bad that I, yes I, diagnosed my own achilles tendon rupture. They said it was a torn muscle! A basic "thompson test" would have revealed otherwise which therapists know so doctors sure the hell should know! We knew they came a long way and the coach was standing right next to me saying he'll go with the kid and the assts can go back on the bus. We wanted to offer the "out of towners" some advice but we decide it might not be a good idea and decided against it. After a quick discussion we decided to mind our own business. We were thinking let's offer some strangers some good advice that we knew they would appreciate, but again, decided against it. Does anyone feel this would been a bad thing to do if we had given advice? Last edited by ljudge; Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 07:49pm. |
