Having 'qualified' first aiders isn't always enough, at Tour 1 last year I hurt
my leg quite badly (haven't played since!).  Got carried over to the first
aiders and they didn't have a clue!  They put a bandage on my calf and sent me
home.  Went to the hospital the next day and the doctor was amazed, I had torn
knee ligaments yet I was told to put the bandage on my calf!!

If you are going to have medical cover at a tournament, it has to be experienced
in sporting injuries or further damage can occur through poor advice.  Someone
who has got a St John's First Aid at work certificate will not have clue when it
comes to the sort of injuries that we can sustain.  Indeed, they could make
things worse.  Either have the St John's there, or have 999 programmed into your
phone!
