They claim it's an "independent" neurologist but how independent can someone be while also cashing a nice check from the NFL? I mean, every football fan has seen dudes staggering around like Joe Blow twelve deep at the bar and then get cleared so... well, LOL

I've met a number of doctors who are "just cashing checks" regardless of who's writing them.

If the Hippocratic Oath were a binding legal agreement, a lot of doctors could be sued for breach of contract.

I get what he was saying in terms of hospital admittance. I just think there's a lot not really well understood about concussions and their impacts and how it varies from individual to individual.

 

Look at the extreme length of time Sidney Crosby missed due to post concussion symptoms in 2011-2012. It can fug some people up badly.

Prayers for the kid.

My general care dr once worked for a NFL team.  He stated that he was pressured to clear players to play quite a bit by the team he played for.  One of the reasons he left the NFL.  

I don't blame players who want to get their own physician in some cases.

Seems like everyone I know who has had major back surgery regrets it and says they're worse off than they were prior even though the doctors swear the images look so much better after.

It has come a long way from where it had been, but still a very, very last resort. You want a neurosurgeon in his mid 50s whose third divorce was finalized 6 mos ago. He’s had time to start dating another nurse(s) and doesn’t have to come home to another drunk wife and a wrecked Range Rover…. kid, I kid.

I saw that again, and neither time I looked did it look like it was an impact with any sort of velocity with his head contacting the ground. IOW I have doubts about him having a concussion from it. Now, a neck sprain and some pinched nerves? Yeah that's where I'd go just from layman observation. 

I did used to play and got my neck jammed up the wrong way in a practice scrimmage and couldn't speak or take a breath or move for a second or two. I was lucky it came right back but that was a nerve(s) being compressed and I felt it for a while afterwards like you would from car collision I guess. You are bruised internally. I think without a concussion probably two weeks out but I guess we'll see.

Depending on the quality of doctor I guess. You can't rule out post concussion symptoms in like 2 hours post injury, I don't see a way that a doctor can look at someone who just had blunt force trauma and say they won't have a delayed reaction to it after the pain/shock wears off

Happened to my wife after a car accident and it took us almost 4 months to finally get someone to listen. She had been responsive following the accident but actually suffered a TBI. But because she had been released from the ER, getting anyone else to listen about her ongoing problems was damn near impossible.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
