    While Dr. Romash is quick to explain that being an orthopedic surgeon he’s never had to face anything close to the seriousness of life and death, he does face limitations in his practice. Like in my case, Dr. Romash explains “I had tell, you(me), a great hard working kid committed to play a sport she loved at my dream school (Haverford College) that she couldn’t because your body couldn’t hold up, there was no possible way it could. Did I want to? Goodness no, but one must accept the limitations of medicine.” Shattering patient’s hope of returning to how they were before their injury or problem, has been a major obstacle in Dr. Romash’s career.…

    If a full time athletic trainer is not on staff, the coach or athletic director may try to provide medical decision making, putting an athlete’s health at risk. A happy medium has also been found in the case of primary physicians. Full time athletic trainers often have relationships with local doctors and specialists and, in many cases, can have the student-athlete be seen within 24 hours of the injury (Cooper). That way, the student athlete can meet with a physician to go further into their injury, or to get prescriptions for the correct medicines, x-rays, or MRIs. In summary, a full time athletic trainer on the scene can address injuries quicker than a primary care physician that could be too late to…
