Watch: Injured Greek player receives hilariously awful medical treatment

Slapstick

Robert Redmond

It’s a good thing these two weren’t on duty when Luke Shaw suffered his horrific injury last month.

A play went down injured for Ergotelis, a team in Greece’s second division, and required a stretcher to leave the pitch. However, he probably would’ve been better walking off the field, because this is like a scene a Laurel and Hardy film.

First, they struggle to raise the stretcher with the player on-board, with the ‘medic’ at the player’s feet slipping. They then get the poor injured soul off the pitch, and drop him to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

The ‘medic’ on the right, out of breath and panting heavily, looks in need of medical care himself.

Judging by the standard of medical care the player received, we wouldn’t be surprised if this guy was the stadium doctor:4098782801_bab8450fda
