[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 818094, member: 73592"] No, of course not all games can have a Dr present - but they should all have an emergency first aider present - and it's their responsibility. If there's any doubt, sit them out. Ultimately of course, it's the patient's responsibility; the trouble with concussion is that patients may be unable to consent, or to be responsible for themselves. It's the first-aiders duty to make that decision. Ref's are also (I believe) responsible for ensuring that anyone on the pitch is competent to be there. Now I would never expect them to overule a health professional; but in the absence of one; then they're also (partly) responsible. [/QUOTE]
