David Fleishman is an attorney attorney here in Baton Rouge. He's represented for professional amateur athletes coaches, agents, venue owners, and businesses related to sport law. He has been lead council on some landmark cases related to a name image and likeness here in Louisiana.
03:43
Sports medicine is really the focus on the nature and obligation owed by team physicians and trainers to athletes. It is always in your best interest to to contact a a practitioner, an attorney in your state.
07:44
Athletic healthcare team is kind of a larger group, and and really you can break that down into kind of more of a primary team which would would be composed of the athletic trainer in the team position. The athletics healthcare administrator is a very, I would say, a very important component. This is the individual who really is responsible for overseeing an organization's athletic healthcare administration and how they deliver their services.
12:01
Louisiana law defines athletic trainer to be an individual licensed by the board as an athletic trainer with a specific qualification set forth in that statue. Under the general supervision of a physician carries out the practice of prevention, emergency management, physical rehabilitation of injuries and sports related conditions.
16:23
The organization has an obligation to ensure that coaches understand what their role is, and trainers understand where they fit and team positions. And typically, you see that through well developed written plans.
20:04
The court says that despite its knowledge and controlling role in governing member schools, coaches, trainers, and student player conduct, the PIAA failed to timely and adequately impose safety regulations and post concussion protocols.
24:14
Athletic trainers in Louisiana don't don't, in and of itself, by their certification, necessarily qualify as as a license provider. So while physical therapists would be covered, athletic trainers are not.
28:29
It needs to be if there if the if I'm working at a high or junior high, And as an athletic trainer, then I the physician needs to have some type of MOU Is that correct in order to avoid being in effect? So it could potentially be under here other otherwise, not just saying, oh, I have something in writing.
31:40
If there is an agreement, it's important that it's outlined there that the the provider has full autonomy to make medical decisions. Even in norms, even if having and I I can't think of the the legal term for this, but almost like hey, you see, like, a societal norm in an or a regional norm.
34:52
Athletic trainer could be fired if they don't have a clear delineation of responsibilities. The worst thing from the trainer standpoint is that something happens and the school says, why do I why do we hire this guy?
38:09
The question that's come up in some of these earlier presentations that I think should be asked, and and I think some asked in the heat and stuff is, does an organization have the ability. Like, if I'm working for a high school and we've got our agreements in place and we're with the physician, do they get to limit my scope and ability?
41:44
I would be hard pressed to to try to restrict the athletic trainer or or physician to to perform anything like that. I know that's a constant thing that comes up, and I have heard and seen that public trainers constantly say, well, my school board says I I can't do that.
45:19
Athlete safety is a hot topic, and it's a very hot topic. I think anytime anybody feels like there's an unsafe circumstances situation or an athlete is not quite ready to return. If you, in your professional opinion, believe that's the case, I think you have an obligation to report that, notify.
49:15
I think the self the safety and well-being. I think that's the trend of where we're going. We have slowly started to recognize the importance of of recognizing signs of problems. And so I I would my my my recommendation would be to go with your your feeling.
52:47
David Perry: You're protecting the school in a in a large sense. You play you are actually, you know, the frontline defense there. It's important that you communicate that, you document.
56:04
The participation in athletics is not a right. It's a it's it's aIt's a privilege. So the right of that of the the athlete is that we as a provider or regard any provider They're right is you're going to do due diligence.
59:27
There was a case in Louisiana that was it's very disturbing. The court of appeal upheld the jury verdict of nearly 2,000,000 to the minor child of a grambling basketball player who collapsed while on an outdoor team run. No athletic trainers were present during the run. When Mister White collapsed, it took 15 to 20 minutes for a trainer to respond. The trainer who finally arrived had failed her boards and was uncertified.
1:02:45
Expert testimony provided established that Mister White would have survived, had the trainer been on-site, recognized the signs of a heat stroke, and immersed white in an ice ice bath within 10 to 15 minutes. The jury found scrambling and its staff 100% negligent and the Louisiana 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal upheld the verdict.
