I attended the high school student annual boxing competition as a doctor. As you know, the specific power granted to the doctor is that he can stop the match. If I find anything bad in the boxer's body, I have the authority to stop the competition. In some situations this decision affects the future of the boxer.
I had to stop the contest today. A boxer had serious nasal bleeding. Though the referee gave first aid to him in the ring, the nasal bleeding didn't stop. I couldn't help stoping the contest. If a doctor stops the contest it means a 3 month penalty. The boxer can't fight in a match for 3 months with the idea of protecting the students' health.
His crying face was unforgettable. I hope he'll get strong and come back.
