Scary scenes at Ole Miss football game as medics rush to the aid of the team doctor after sideline collapse
The game between Ole Miss and Oklahoma had to be abandoned on Saturday after a medical emergency on the sidelines.
The Rebels led 26-14 with 11 and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter when the action stopped and television cameras panned away from the field.
It soon emerged that a doctor on the Ole Miss staff had collapsed. In terrifying scenes, paramedics rushed across the field to treat him.
According to ESPN, the doctor never lost consciousness and was seen walking through the tunnel a few minutes later.
The employee had to be helped from the field to an ambulance that was waiting for him.

During the delay, the Ole Miss team got down on one knee to pray for the medic, believed to be Dr. Kurre Luber.
A few minutes later, however, Lane Kiffin’s players were back on the field, chasing a sixth win of the season.
And despite the mid-game scare, the Rebels won 26-14.
According to the Oxford Surgery Center, Luber serves as an “Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist” for teams at the University of Mississippi.
He treats student-athletes of all sports and performs “minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints.”
