Keep Calm...I AM THE ATHLETIC TRAINER


In a Perfect World

Five little monkeys, jumping on the bed.  

One fell off and bumped his head.  

Mother called the doctor and the doctor said, 

"Why didn't you go to your athletic trainer before coming to see me?!?  Don't you know that they could have gone ahead and diagnosed your concussion after comparing their evaluation to your baseline, started a daily symptom check, told you to NOT take Ibuprofen, filled out a Secondary Insurance Claim Form, and notified your coach and teachers of your symptoms?!?  I will write you a note that says that you must check in with your athletic trainer daily for a symptom re-check and to progress through the RTP Protocol once symptom free.  Next time, go see your athletic trainer first!"
