This makes no sense and we accept it?
Last weekend Kilmessan's Ryan Montague made his senior hurling championship debut for his club in a third round Jubilee Cup game against Dunboyne at Pairc Táilteann which the defending champions lost.
However, apart from the defeat, Ryan had to endure a late night and an early morning after he was stretchered-off the Pairc Tailteann pitch only minutes into the second-half with, what at the time was, a suspected broken or fractured bone in his leg.
Fortunately, it turned out that there was nothing broken and Ryan required was six stitches in a leg wound and the use of some crutches until such time as he is fully recovered from the injury.
However, and this is not exclusive to Ryan Montague, it just happened that a reporter and photographer were at the game.
The reporter followed up on the injury the next day and was informed of the outcome - not a real serious injury, but a bad injury nevertheless.
A further enquiry this week elicited more information that saw the necessity for someone to stay with Ryan until he was treated and then discharged some nine hours later.
By coincidence or otherwise, (sport is great for producing the unexpected) a new Minister for Health was also appointed last week.
And not too many weeks ago there was a massive demonstration in Navan by some 10,000 people with the 'Save Navan Hospital rally.'
Is Navan Hospital in any danger of actually being saved?
Last week Ryan Montague was put into an ambulance that actually passed the back entrance to Navan Hospital as it left Pairc Tailteann.
It embarked on a 15-mile drive to Drogheda.
There, shortly after 9pm Ryan Montague was brought into the A&E Department of what was, at that stage on a Friday night, a very busy A&E in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.
The evidence for that is reflected in the fact that it was 4am the next morning before Ryan Montague received any significant attention.
At around 6am he was discharged.
It was Ryan Montague on this occasion, it could have been me or you and we take this with a 'shrug of the shoulders' - this is totally unacceptable no matter what reasons are trotted out.
It may be asking the 'obvious' questions but maybe the 'obvious' questions need to be asked again
Why was it necessary to go to Drogheda with an injury that used to be treated in Navan?
Is Navan capable of dealing with these and similar type injuries if it gets fair treatment from whoever dispenses this type of treatment?
Why is Navan not getting fair treatment?
While the answers are know, is doesn't mean that the questioning stops?
