In preparation for a recent podcast I asked:
What are some odd things you have seen as an Athletic Trainer? Kid with a stroke; Eyeball popped out of head? @ATCanonymous
I got a lot of great stories and knew we had to share them here on the podcast.
Possibly my two favorite were
- Dislocated shoulder while napping and
- Sprained ankle while napping.
Bubba Wilson joins me as we read these tweets and add some commentary. I loved these responses. I have screenshotted most of them and pasted them in the show notes.
Also, Laurie Beth gave a shout out to her mentor Leah Cox and we read it on the show. Always remember the ones who got you here.
