Hi,
sorry mate, but I don't think you got the idea of her assignement - it's about ethics not about availability of services.

Your topic, Kirsten is a really hard one.
I would start with putting a list of pros and cons together for each scenario (i.e compare a typical sports injury with a degenerative/ medical disease in the same area of the body), then transfer that into a SWAT analysis.
That way, you should have some good starting points.

I can just think of a Neuro example, comparing a Rugby player with a moderate head injury to someone with hemiplegia after brain cancer......
But there will be easier one, I'm sure.....

Wonder, whether you might find, that most problems that we (as Physios) deal with are in a certain way self-inflicted, may it be by putting ourselves at risk when we get into a car and drive in rush hour traffic, lift a crying child up, who might be heavy, eat too much and lead a not-so-healthy-liefstyle, ....

Good luck,
Fyzzio
