Awarded bases to an injured runner

Yaaahhh... OBS is a delayed dead ball, dead upon the tagging of an OBS'd runner. If the runner gets up, goes into the dugout, she cannot come out of the dugout to then touch awarded base(s). Yes?

Presumably, the ball could also have been dead due to the injury (if it wasn't already dead due to the OBS runner being tagged).

You can judge that the offense has completed whatever base running responsibilities they are going to complete, but you can't hang your hat on entering the dugout alone (i.e. abandonment) since the ball is dead.

Are you implying you would let all these people come onto the field to tend to an injured runner - and not kill the ball?
