Medics get athletes "back out there to do it"

LONDON (Reuters) - Olympic doctors have had 20,000 consultations with athletes, spectators, staff and journalists during London 2012, but the Games' head medic is quietly confident at how they have been able to fix most people up to get on with the show.

Hockey players have broken bones, wrestlers have suffered bulging black eyes, cyclists have crashed, athletes have torn muscles and spectators have had heart attacks - and according to chief medical officer Richard Budgett, each has been treated swiftly and effectively.
