Estelle Getty Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) We have discussed this before but the Reggie Ragland injury is a perfect example of how bad our medical staff is. 1. Rather than use precaution they let Ragland walk of the field on his own with a partially torn ACL. Even though it was a non contact injury which almost always involves a tear of some sort. 2. They tell Rex Ryan they don't think there was any ligament damage. (Rex didn't come up with that on his own). 3. They tell the team they will have a definitive answer by Sunday or Monday, failing to take into account the severity of the swelling which will not allow a second opinion that quickly. Between constantly rushing star players back from injury Manuel (knees), McCoy (hamstring), Aaron Williams (neck) and misdiagnosing injuries (Lawson) they have shown a level of incompetence that has affected our teams chances to win games. Im beginning to think our medical staff is made up of a group of Arbys workers who thought it would be a funny gag to apply for the job.

Estelle Getty Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 They don't have X-ray vision. Then why tell the coach that? I'm not even sure they have an x-ray machine. Pretty sure they just send players to convenient care to diagnose them. They told the team they'd have a definitive answer by Sunday or Monday? Says who? The coach and every media outlet. But why pay attention ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to start making stuff up to bash the team. If you can't find something from reality to do so then you're not trying very hard. The Patriots were one of the most banged up teams last season. Maybe they should fire their doctors too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estelle Getty Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) This. Some people walk around with torn ACLs for years So you can't go from a partial tear to a full tear from not treating it properly. You should make sure everyone knows this doc. Im not surprised with those who blindly defend personnel decisions of a team that hasnt made the playoffs since right before the thong song came out. But the medical staff now too? Russ Brandon's marketing has reached new heights. Edited August 8, 2016 by Estelle Getty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they let Brady walk off after his ACL tear. This. Some people walk around with torn ACLs for years Ironically, the guy who was a magician during my son's ACL rehab tore both of his playing college football and NEVER had them repaired. Stuck with mountain biking and other activities that didn't require an ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop. It's embarrassing for all of us like when someone gets really drunk and tries to hit on someone who wants no part of it. None of us want to be here and see this.
