I Told You So
This guy came in on my call on Saturday, complaining of a sore neck. Even the AdMan, who's never read an X-Ray in his life, could spot the pathology, but I've made a big red arrow for you in any case. What you're seeing is a C-spine dislocation: bad news.
Guess what he'd been doing? Yep, playing rugby.
Yes, I know, rugby is how modern-day man vents built-up testosterone that would normally have been used to hunt saber-toothed tigers and challenge neighbouring cave-men, but that doesn't make the sport any less dangerous. I'm just saying, is all.

Oh rugby matches are a dream come true for first-aid duties!! All those broken and dislocated bits ;-D
"Blood, sweat and tears for the glory of the game" as one guy with a grossly disfigured nose told me last week :-S All I could reply was, "you need rhinoplasty, baby!"
