Agreed, that's fair point that it another cardiac condition; nonetheless, you can have parallel and secondary conditions develop (i.e. a hip flares up for overcompensation for knee injury, ankle stress from a Lisfranc); because of one ongoing issue, it just seems it would be even more prudent to have a full cardiac workup, of the type that you literally have millions of dollars invested, with several cardiologist involved, would have caught something that only reared just a few weeks later?!?

Personal Experience: I know when my late Father began to have heart problems from a prior misdiagnosed heart attack, his cardiologist that I'd befriended a couple of years before as our children were in the same class, school took his time and caught a number of things going on with Dad and probably added those eight years with his granddaughter (my child) because he really took his time and didn't "process" Dad like a piece of meat (of course, my Dad had that type of affect on people); and my Dad probably would have lived longer had that same cardiologist not moved away and we got stuck with a jerk who mailed it in one day and missed my Dad in the middle of a cardiac episode...

There just seems to be a higher number of these types of reports with the Saints than some of these other franchises and I can't help but wonder if there's not a systematic dysfunction that needs to be addressed...

Eric Asher, a local radio and television reporter has addressed this issue on both his shows and granted, while he's no cardiologist, he's taken an awful risk to his stock and his broadcasters' stock to call out Ochsners Sports and Health to highlight this problem...

I intend on calling in to his next show when two certain reporters are on to see if there isn't a few players having concers as well...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

To this I agree completely. That's why I suspect a total range of testing did take place concerning his cardiac condition. And that is what leads me to believe even more that the condition is arrhythmia which can arise at any moment. The heart can suddenly slow down, speed up, or become sporadic without any warning. That would explain Loomis' comment concerning timing.

I can understand your predisposition toward Oschner and all. As a point of full disclosure, my eldest son is an employee of the Oschner health system as the head coach at their fitness facility in Elmwood.
