MIckey Loomis on Nick Fairley's condition: 'The time of the discovery wasn't great for us nor for him'
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Originally Posted by dizzle88 It says the team doctor "noticed" the irregularity after the physical, meaning it could have been there all along and the team doctor should have noticed it straight away. Just seems awful coincidental for a guy ...

Guido, no offense but this article doesn't verify anything other than the fact that the diagnosis sucks for both sides. No where does it say that there was a "new" condition that recently developed. So, I stick with my original question which is how did we not notice this before the contract.

That was reported several times when the news first broke.
By all indicators it is arrhythmia which can occur at any time without any prior warning. Thus the bad timing to which Loomis refers. If the arrhythmia had began a few months earlier they could have avoided the situation. It wasn't an additional ECG, EKG, Holter Monitor or a stress test that was required, it would have had to have been a crystal ball. As far as I know no doctor has one of those. |

Our team doctors must have gotten their medical degree in Mexico. Ochsner was an account of mine when I sold medical equipment. The place was nasty......... I wouldn't send my dog there.
It's obvious to the uneducated eye that the front office and our medical staff don't evaluate injuries very well. Our track record on injured athletes is abysmal at best. Like Joe Vitt and company I believe that it's time to move on and get a fresh pertspective. |

Not to sound cold and callous, but does anyone know how Nick's condition will impact the current cap? IIRC the Saints were inside the top 3 in all of the NFL as it relates to "Dead Money".
