The Saints have fired team orthopedists Deryk Jones and Misty Suri, per source, after it was discovered that CB Delvin Breaux has a fractured fibula and will require surgery expected to sidelined him for 4-6 weeks. Breaux was originally diagnosed with a contusion – and the team was frustrated that he wasn't recovering more quickly until the missed diagnosis was revealed. It was accurately reported that the team has had an issue with Breaux's string of nagging injuries in the past, but this case is different. And it seems unlikely at this point that the team will be as eager to trade or release Breaux.

Boy if we haven't been calling for this sort of thing for years. Maybe this Breaux debacle is over and he won't be going anywhere after all.

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists

I'm glad that move was made. Missed diagnosis from team physicians .. unacceptable. Everyone should be held accountable ...even Doctors.

Sounds like this was a move long overdue.

Getting the initial diagnosis right is so important to get the proper rehab etc. asap.

God, how many careers have they cut short? How many times over the years have we dealt with mysterious lingering injuries?

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists

Personally, I'm not surprised.

A few years back, I was injured and needed to have a third surgery on my right knee. The doctor that completed my first two surgeries suggested I consult with Deryk Jones. As soon as I met him, I felt like I was visiting with the Morris Bart of Orthopedic Surgeons.

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.

A lot of us have been discussing some real issues with these people or perceived. Guess we weren't far off
