IT'S BEEN a case of doctor on call at Turf Moor this past week.
Doctor Ian Maudsley was summoned from the Bob Lord Stand on Tuesday to treat injured Wrexham goalkeeper Mark Cartwright.
Cartwright required a stitches to a gash above the knee and limped away on crutches, although manager Brian Flynn reported no major damage.
And the following night it was Dr Mike McDevitt's turn to be called into action after former Claret Graham Lancashire received a cut head while leading Rochdale Reserves' attack.
Lancashire ran off to the dressing room where he was patched up by McDevitt before returning to the fray.

Their only success in 12 games was a 4-3 win in January 1988.

And he also revealed that midfielder Peter Ward didn't make it through the traffic until 7.30pm.
"It was quite an eventful night," admitted the former Burnley favourite after his side had won 2-1.
