Terms of use

Using this site means accepting these terms. They are short because the site is simple: an educational library about sports injuries in the Lower Keys, with no accounts, no forms, and no commerce.

Educational purpose, not medical advice

Everything here is educational information, reviewed by a physician but general by nature. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a treatment plan for any individual. Reading this site creates no physician-patient relationship with anyone. Decisions about your body belong in an examination room; the medical disclaimer states this fully. In an emergency, call 911 or go to the Lower Keys Medical Center emergency department.

Accuracy and live data

Clinical pages carry review dates and cited sources, and unverifiable claims are cut rather than kept, but medicine moves and no site is ever complete or current for every case. The live modules (conditions, the Injury Wire, the scoreboard) display third-party feeds that can lag, fail, or contain upstream errors; never make a safety decision, on the water or off, from a website panel alone.

Intellectual property and third-party links

The original content on this site belongs to its publisher and may not be republished wholesale without permission; quoting reasonably with attribution is welcome. Third-party sites linked from here, including data sources and medical references, have their own terms and their own owners, and linking is not endorsement of everything they say.

The basics

These terms are governed by the laws of Florida. If any part proves unenforceable, the rest stands. Continued use after changes to these terms means acceptance of the updated version; material changes update the review date on this page. Questions route through the contact page, and privacy practices live in the privacy policy.
