How is this behaviour still being applauded and commended? The care of an unconscious player should only be delivered by an appropriately trained medical team. Player education and media training needed before someone loses their fingers, or a player is paralysed.
@celsofitness@SebSB@AlasdairGold We aren’t talking about first aid here though. We are talking about the acute management of an unconscious professional athlete, in an environment where a fully trained medical team are never more than 30 seconds away.
@celsofitness@SebSB@AlasdairGold You are trusting footballers to be able to clear a cervical spine injury? A players airway can be easily maintained with a simple “jaw thrust” manoeuvre that does not require moving the players spine. Leave the medical management to the medical staff.
@SebSB@AlasdairGold The doctors are wrong. I can assure you.
It’s a constant cycle of misinformation that will eventually paralyse or kill a player.
Would be well worth you trying to change the narrative.

@SebSB@AlasdairGold Sorry Seb but a player can’t “swallow his tongue”. What they did is endanger the players life, and education is needed rather than commendation. As a journalist this might be a good topic for an education piece?
What an awful decision. No idea how this has been given the green light. Marketing money over participant health. Organisers should be discouraging NSAID usage not promoting the brands. VERY disappointing.
Well done @phoebejeanr an important topic now a bit better understood @OkholmKryger @ritan_mehta@ElenaJobson

@studentdrdemon I was told by my school not to apply to medical school because I would “lower the application of the other students applying”. Unsurprisingly I declined an invitation a few years later to go back and speak about getting into medical school.
It’s been a pleasure working with @DrDionisioIzq this year at @NHSBartsHealth and congratulations on finishing SEM training. Genuinely a top bloke, despite having worked tor Arsenal.
