    This just sounds like healthcare. I mean if my eye got messed up it would take way longer than a quarter of a football game to get seen.

      It really sounds to me like they probably made some emergency call to someone in the area who was able to come in.

      I don’t know how you could possibly keep a staff of every specialist you could theoretically need in any scenario on standby at the stadium. Guys don’t have facial fractures near their eye socket on a regular basis.

    “I was supposed to see an ophthalmologist … and they took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room – which, to me, is unacceptable.”

    Do they actually have eye doctors on site for the 1 game in 1,000 that they might be useful?
