Medical Doctor questions Drew's ability to recover from MCL injury
As a biological scientist who has extensively studied the human body with regards to diseases, injuries and patterns of recovery, the recent announcement by New Orleans Saints Quarterback, Drew Brees(notes), that he played the entire football season with a sprained MCL has made me question his ability to fully recover from it.

What a quack. Brees sees Dr. James Andrews who is a REAL medical doctor that has dealt with these injuries for many years. I'm sure he has a better grasp of things than this wanna-be.

Here's what this "doctor" has in her bio:

If a real doctor like Dr. James Andrews can fully reconstruct a shoulder and then have that shoulder being pushed to the limit every day, i don't think an MCL sprain that most likely has already recovered giving drew any problems. Seems like everyone calls themselves doctors these days if they wear a white coat. |
they didnt think he'd come back from the shoulder injury either.

Indeed what a joke. Why would someone even risk their "reputation" by writing this. No background in the field she is commenting on whatsoever. It's too bad that no ramifications will come of this pathetic article. I say we keep her link information and around week 13 or so of next football season, we pull it out again and ask her how she thinks his recovery has gone so far.

Quit making fun of Yahoo. I'm thinking about applying for a job with them.

and if I punch this dumbarse in the face I question my ability to get my fist out!

Who dare question the healing powers of Drew Brees? This guy is an idiot
|
please blow-up this thread.

one of the stupidest things i have ever heard. how do you question it after the fact?!?!? what a loser. where was this article or this expertise opinion when he originally hurt it. like someone else said...they thought he wouldnt even been able to throw the ball again. and recover?!?!?! this happened months ago and he played the rest of the year and if we had a rb and our d show up in seattle we would be in the superbowl. with a one legged brees. the writer can take this article and shove it up their @$$.

Granted I did lose some minor dexterity but the doctors were amazed. I ate a very good diet and never missing PT but it's still uncommon for someoe to heal that quick. Not to get off on a tangent but one thing I have always noticed is that my nails grow fast and super hard even boefore the accident. NOt sure if that means anything but other than that wound I have never been inuried without a quick recovery. |

In theory the article is probably dead on. Where it loses credibility is this person is not Drew's doctor and really has no clue on what was going on. I can guarantee if Drew's doctor would have said to shut it down for a while, he would have done so. Obviously the situation with Drew wasn't very serious. He did take protective measures and wore a brace. With the Saints having probably another few years at a legitimate Super Bowl run, I don't believe anyone would have risked running him out on the field if there was a decent chance of this injury getting worse.

if anyone read drew's book, you get some insight on how the guy takes care of his body. one part of the book that really stood out to me was drew talking about food allergies. his nutritionist told him about food allergies that dont always show up. apparently we are all allergic to foods, but dont ever know about it or have any symptoms because our blood cells fight it off before anything can show. still while those cells are working to fight what we might have just eaten, they could have been working at other things in the body, like healing tissue or other injuries. who would think to get checked for such a thing? drew would.
moral of the story is no one should ever bet against that guy. |
