A member of the Michigan men's basketball team, point guard Elliot Cadeau, was taken to the hospital by ambulance on Wednesday as the team prepared to depart for the Final Four in Indianapolis. Cadeau had an allergic reaction to something he ate, according to the team, and was evaluated by doctors before being transported for further medical supervision.

Cadeau's medical scare, while concerning, highlights the importance of having robust medical protocols in place to quickly address any issues that arise.

Cadeau was initially seen getting on the team bus, but then left with head coach Dusty May back into the team's performance center before being carted out on a stretcher and taken by ambulance.
