"You're okay, it's just a bruise" Book

Rob Huizenga was hired by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1983 as the team internist working on the sidelines and in the locker room at every game. Huizenga's job took him far outside the usual doctor's rounds. From evaluating the health of top draft picks, to reviving players felled on the gridiron, to calming enraged 290-pound linemen nicknamed Killer and The Grim Reaper, Huizenga had a unique perspective on the game. Privy to hilarious anecdotes about the lives of players on and off the field, Huizenga also saw a darker side: a sport where athletes play despite serious injuries, fearful of losing their positions, and where medicine can be compromised by the demand to "Just win, baby."
