If you were walking around Meadowhall and somebody took badly do you you want locking in foot asylum for 20 minutes? "First responders say that a break in play reduces the risk to the patient. It calms the crowd, it makes it easier for medics to move around because they are not blocking views and it allows them to focus and communicate without being distracted by shouting and chanting. Plus, it means club doctors can get involved if needed." 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few instances of a crash happened recently and the road gets opened as soon as possible. If I was receiving life saving treatment I would want the dignity of not having 20,000 people watching. That assumes the medics have arrived in a timely manner. What if they are delayed by crowds risking the delivery lifesaving treatment and increasing the chances of the worst outcome? Stopping the game for a few minutes is hardly the biggest inconvenience. Recent situations where patients have been saved in grounds is quite amazing really. Kudos to all who've helped in one way or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridportOwl Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I reckon if I was having a suspected heart attack and was getting looked on the stadium concourse the chants/cheers/groans from the crowd might add to my stress levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctors don’t want to be a medic responsible for emergency care of tens of thousands of people Every professional game should have a designated crowd Dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 People (mainly anti-vax nutters who instantly diagnose the vaccine regardless) say that people are having more medical issues at football games now. I doubt it, it just makes the headlines more now because, for whatever reason, games tend to get stopped now. I'm actually surprised that statistically there aren't more incidents, when you think how many people attend games every week, it'll be in the hundreds of thousands, many of them no spring chickens and being put through stressful situations, well they are watching Wednesday anyway.

At the end of the day there are loads of old people there and the game is stressful/exciting so it's going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
