Dr. Drew helps seriously injured player at Chadwick game

Dr. Drew Pinsky, the radio and television personality, ran onto the Chadwick School football field Saturday to assist a seriously injured student.

The player, Jackson Allan, a sophomore at Polytechnic School in Pasadena, suffered a traumatic head injury that caused him to lose consciousness, according to a letter issued by Poly's Head of School Debbie Reed.

Pinsky, who hosts "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" on VH1, and the radio show "Loveline," is the parent of a Poly student. He and Chadwick parent, Dr. Roger Lewis, provided care for Allan until paramedics arrived at the Palos Verdes Peninsula campus.

Allan was taken to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center where he underwent surgery to relieve pressure on the brain from internal bleeding.

Lewis is a faculty member and emergency room doctor at the hospital.

The Facebook page, "Get well soon Jackson Allan" provides updates on his condition, listed Monday as critical but stable.
