Who the frick has a doctor affiliated to a H.S. football team, even now?

---

Almost all do, my son cracked his collar bone in a game on a Thursday and they texted 3 DR's. that are affiliated with the team and we were in with one on Friday at 8 am.

2 have open clinics on Saturday mornings after every Varsity game.

I get that, but Boobie actually went to a legit hospital for an MRI. Gaines doesn’t think to call the Hosptial and speak with the doctor himself for affirmation?

Throughout my kids years of school (until my daughter, no pics, was a NCAA diver), not a single coach of any kind ever talked with their doctor. That's just for parents or guardians. Coaches and even trainers aren't picking up the phone and calling doctors and ever if they were, doctors aren't talking to them as it's confidential info.

In the early 2000s, when my son played in the Houston suburbs, they didn't do this at all. It was up to the parents to take their kid to the doc as needed. There was no Saturday morning clinic. Hell, our district had a bunch of teams that shared stadiums and we had Saturday afternoon and night games as well as Thursday and Friday nights.
