@iDrSunny Good question! With today's tools & AI, building from scratch is so much easier & cost-effective. It lets us create exactly the product/business we envision, rather than fitting an existing mold. Question is: which approach truly results in a superior product?

@Dr_Done_ Is this partly the reason why patients say the Mental Health service couldn't do anything to help them?

Never seen this before!

Blimey. Good decision Mr Ref:
Law 8.4: For any goal to be successful, the ball must be kicked over the crossbar and between the goal posts without first touching a team-mate or the ground.
Law 8.17: "If the opposition touches the ball and the kick is successful, the goal stands."

@Dr_Oubre Concussion - 'If in doubt, sit them out!'

[Chaminda Goonetilleke @drshums]

Tua's first injury would have been a Criteria 1 for the player to be removed immediately and permanently from the field of play based on @WorldRugby 's protocols.

[Chaminda Goonetilleke @drshums]

Many lessons to be learnt from Tua Tagovailoa's recent #NFL related head injury. An immediate normal concussion assessment protocol may not always recognise a #concussion. When there is other evidence, clinical judgement should supersede protocols.
