They had this dude walking around with a fractured fibula telling him "It's just a bruise, man up!"

Well, well, well. Whaddya know. Team doctors mis-diagnosed an injury. Seems to me lots of folks here have been scratching their heads in regards to our medical staff.

One call, that's all!

Initial Dx wrong b/c of suboptimal image quality(swelling), but due to FO pressure, had to Dx SOMETHING, later imaging reveals fracture, team has to fire ortho to save face because they had already run with it.

Sounds about right. Move long overdue anyway though.

Those doctors must of took a page from james woods character on any given sunday or are the most incompetent doctors in sports. I can see former saints players suing the team if they were diagnosed by those clowns if they couldn't play anymore from a misdiagnosed injury that got worse.

His diagnosis and recommendation was so vastly different (and WRONG) than what I had already discussed I RAN out of his office.

Ultimately I saw a third doctor, who couldn't believe what Dr. Jones had indicated was the problem. Everything's been fine ever since. Glad I didn't trust DJ.

That is one hell of a first post! Been lurking?

After taking a bullet in the labrum over Macho Grande I was diagnosed with a mosquito bite. I said "Doctor, surely it has to me something else." He replied "Mosquito bite and don't call me Shirley!"

If these doctors have been screwing the team for a while, I hope some of the players and the Saints can get a settlement. And hopefully the new team doctors know their stuff.

Just another example of the ineptitude of this regime since winning the sb. Nobody wants to hear it bur its time for a change at the top running out of people to blame.

Can they add Dan Dalrymple to the Pink Slip List..........

I can see this scenario. What I read on stress fractures versus bone contusions mentioned the difficulty in an appropriate diagnosis until the enema has subsided. Although, you would expect the doctors to error on the conservative side and treat it as a fracture until they could tell for sure. I could see them being pressured into a premature decision. But, that is on them for giving in if it was the case.
