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:

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.

Yahoo has been writing some pretty shaky, poorly thought out stories in order to increase their visitors and hits. Many of these have little journalistic substance and are just glorified blog posts in disguise. As a Yahoo mail user, I've noticed this increase over the last year or so.
