abstract="Mutual confidence is necessary between the football coach and the team physician. The physician's decision in the matter of a boy's condition must always be final. The coach should also consider the physician's advice in shaping his psychological appeals to the players in before-game and between-halves talks. The physician should be on his way to a man injured on the field as soon as the play is ended. It is up to him and not the trainer or coach to make the diagnosis. The physician must have the ability to make an immediate evaluation of the extent of injury and use appropriate measures to get the player off the field. To see a semi-conscious man with dangling head being half dragged off the field is far worse from the patient's standpoint and from the spectator's standpoint than removal by stretcher.
