I got my degree at Google U plus I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!!

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when the doctor first shared the results of the X-Ray. Did he say it was definitely a contusion? Did he say with the amount of enema present we can't tell for sure, but it may just be a contusion? Did he say it could either just be a contusion or possibly a stress fracture, but with the present edema we cannot tell for sure?

It is possible that in trying to protect their employer's marketing deal with the Saints that they became a bit pliable by the Saints front office. Perhaps telling them what they wanted to hear instead of taking a hard line and telling it like it was. If so, that's more than enough reason for dismissal.

I'm starting to agree with you, JP, that there is something "not right" about the Oschner/Saints partnership. By going to a third party orthopedist there shouldn't be any conflict of interest.

... But they have ruined the careers of many other players with their ineptitude. So, you know, congrats I guess on not misdiagnosing Breaux.

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

That will never be known. List the players you are referring to. Not saying they shouldn't have been ousted, but I would still like to see that extensive list. I can be convinced.

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

Like you said, that will never be known. Just conjecture.

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

Oh, I thought you were talking about known players. Hard to tell. Have we had more players with ended careers than other squads? That would take a hell of a lot of research. Got to bow out of that one. Have a little life left. ;-)

Some lawyers somewhere must have commiserated...

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

Their lawyers are paid for by my wife's concern. If there was anything "shady" that they knew about ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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....

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

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

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

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