physician watching the documentary about the Olympic archery

 As a physician watching the documentary about the Olympic archery hopeful from India what was very striking to me was the episode where she is examined by a physician and Mumbai and he says that she may be suffering from bicipital tendinitis and administers a steroid injection because she has to go for a competition and cannot afford to wait it out to heal the injury.
What I do not understand was whether the documentary maker did not capture the whole interaction between the physician and the spokesperson and the complete examination details are that the physician simply made the diagnosis after listening to the coach/ trainer more than the spokesperson herself so what kind of a sports doctor is that he is am really unhappy about the whole situation and as I have decided to make this my retirement hobby I'm going to research this to the full extent and see whether it is really bicipital tendinitis which was causing Deepika Kumari's pain in the shoulder when she was drawing the arrow.
