Chris, I have LBer Chris Claiborne on Line 2 for you...

Update: My bad, it was Chris Chamberlain...

That was Chamberlain, right? Chamberlain and Keenan Lewis were the two players that spoke up.

They "misremembered how much verticality his physicality had as they commiserated to misdiagnose while trying to get untracked" So to speak!

Re: Ochsner: Doctors didn't 'misdiagnose' Saints defensive back Delvin Breaux's injury
 

Yeah, I think they mean Chamberlain. Claiborne never played for the Saints.

When your talking about professional athletes with multi-million $$$ salaries Ochsner had no choice but to deny, deny, deny that their doctors did anything wrong.

Anything less and Benson would also own a health care system.

Well, somehow Payton got it in his head that Breaux was ready to play but was making himself unavailable. Thus the warning in the press and the trade rumors. Either those doctors gave him that info or they should have corrected him when he first started discussing Breaux's status. Either way, it doesn't look good for them.

Not really. Even if there was a misdiagnoses it is not grounds for any suit. The number one requirement for a malpractice claim to even get off the ground is that whatever occurred caused the patient tangible harm. If there is no harm the claim will be denied immediately with no chance for litigation. Now, if Breaux was told he definitely did not have a fracture and he went out and played on it and it totally gave way and affected his playing career, then he would have grounds. Misdiagnoses and mistakes happen, but the vast majority of the time there is absolutely no grounds for a claim of malpractice and that is the only way to get money. And even in those cases there are legal limits. In this case Oschner has no worries at all since there was no harm.

And Oswald was a pure setup, O.J's glove really didn't fit and Nixon wasn't a crook....

I sold medical equipment to Ochsner........it's a nasty place that is very old and in need of a Hospital renovation.

Which facility? I just checked and they have over 100 related facilities.
