<br/><br/> "Sports doctors are scared. As a result, some of sports' most dramatic scenes might never be duplicated. Moments such as: New York Knicks great Willis Reed inspiring teammates in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals on an injured leg; Jack Youngblood leading the Los Angeles Rams to the 1980 Super Bowl on a broken leg; Kirk Gibson winning Game 1 of the 1988 World Series for the Dodgers when he could barely round the bases; and Kerri Strug landing a vault on an injured ankle in the 1996 Olympics to clinch gold for the United States gymnastics team. In the evolving crisis of malpractice, some doctors believe that ultimately injured athletes will not be allowed to play." (MIAMI HERALD) This article examines some doctors' reluctance to treat athletes' injuries because of the threat of malpractice suits.
