A lot of players probably wouldn't know if they are receiving bad treatment, or if they are being misdiagnosed, so they don't say anything.

Sean Payton fired these doctors, and I find it unlikely that he did so solely on the Breaux situation. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling a lot more dirt is out there that we haven't heard about for legal reasons (they don't want to make public accusations while any possible investigation is going on). But that's just my gut.

We've had a lot of players not just get hurt, which isn't terribly uncommon (though our numbers seem a bit high) but many of them seem to sustain injuries that linger for unusual periods of time. There never appears to be much of a plan to get these guys healthy, and they just keep running out there and re-injuring themselves. Maybe it's just bad fortune. Maybe it's bad doctors... Or, maybe it's both.
I actually know quite a lot about this situation. My wife is one of a handful of malpractice claims adjusters for the entity that insures virtually every hospital and hospital related doctor in the State of Louisiana. The Oschner health system is among them. There is no greater occurrence of malpractice with these doctors or that system than most any other in the state.

Malpractice is usually related to isolated individual incidents in otherwise competent care. Repeated incidents would quickly cost the physician their license or at minimum a quick dismissal from a hospital that they may be associated with.
