You might have to do some research, quick? Just sayin'.

Are you saying nurses know how to be "good in bed?"

Re: Saints Fire Orthopedists

I sold X-ray equipment and it is difficult to scan through a tremendous amount of swelling and get an accurate reading on film. Many times I've seen a better reading once the swelling goes down and the radiation doesn't get diminished on the way to the bone.

Still, it was past time for these guys to go. These misdiagnosis have been ridiculously incorrect and it has to stop. We lose at least one player a year to poor evaluation.

That's the point I was making. It is difficult, if not impossible, to tell the difference between a bone contusion and a stress fracture until the enema (swelling) has subsided. A misdiagnosis is very possible if forced to make a call before enough time has elapsed, but if unsure they should have made the call to treat it as a fracture until they could know for sure.

This is stemming from years of poor evaluations from the Saints medical team, not just the recent blunder as it relates to Breaux.

Yes, I understand that. The straw that broke the camel's back.
