Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists
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.

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists
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. |

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists
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.

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists
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!"

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists
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.

But, that is on them for giving in if it was the case.
