Abstract

Physicians participate in the screening, routine medical supervision, and disqualification of student-athletes. In doing so, they should understand that eligibility/disqualification decisions inevitably have associated liability issues. It is the responsibility of physicians to take the lead role in the student-athlete medical assessment process to allow for optimum safety in sports programmes. The first duty of the physician is to protect the health and well-being of the student-athlete. However, because there is potential liability associated with the screening/disqualification process, physicians are wise to develop sound and reasonable strategies that are in strict compliance with the standard of care. This article focusses on cardiac screening and disqualification for participation in sports.

  1. Já ouvimos muitas vezes a opinião de pessoas não familiarizadas com o tópico de que um cassino online pode trapacear. Claro, isso não é verdade, porque o algoritmo de cada casino registrado na União Europeia é cuidadosamente verificado por auditores externos. Isso significa que mesmo https://casino-portugal.pt/casinos/casinoportugal-pt/ vale a pena conhecer as opiniões dos jogadores, pois assim teremos a certeza de que utilizamos soluções seguras. É provavelmente lógico que o cassino da Internet mais popular também tenha sido verificado por muitos jogadores. Apenas os casinos seguros que também são os mais honestos merecem a atenção dos jogadores.
