Abstract/Notes Bill Moreau, DC, of Estherville, Iowa, huddled on the sidelines as the injured high school football player complained that his legs felt odd and his head hurt. Minutes later, the player collapsed, started vomiting, and went into convulsions. Dr. Moreau, a diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP), suspected the player had suffered a subdural hematoma, and immediately began administering oxygen, which he had brought along in case of need, and providing other supportive care while an ambulance was summoned.

At the hospital, Dr. Moreau?s hunch about the subdural hematoma was confirmed. The patient recovered fully and is now a pre-law student at the University of Iowa.

Dr. Moreau credits the thorough and extensive training received in his sports diplomate coursework for preparing him to deal with a life-threatening emergency. He knew what to do and had the appropriate equipment?and self-assurance. ?Without the training I received in the diplomate program, I would not have had the confidence to handle a situation like that,? he says.
