He’s also @profootballdoc on twitter and called this a couple days ago - Wasn’t that guy the former Chargers doctor who was accused of some shady stuff himself? and I think there might be no team that has more injuries than the Chargers. It’s always something weird with that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 4 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: With all due respect who deserves the blame? This is clearly a BAD situation and from where I’m sitting it is 100% the physician’s fault. It’s unfortunate, and an accident, but still their fault. It’s like a car accident. No one wants it to happen but someone is usually to blame. Of course it’s bad. And the doc is to blame. The question is whether the doc was negligent. If the lung puncture is a potential risk of the injection, then it’s possible the doc wasn’t negligent. No matter the outcome of the negligence question, though, the Chargers doc has to go. Players will not want to go there if they think the medical staff is incompetent. We went through that with our team doc a couple of decades ago. The players did not trust him and went elsewhere for surgeries whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 3 minutes ago, WideNine said: Sure it does, but most stuff here is tongue and cheek. I am sure most doctors would understand how much visibility and scrutiny their work could have if their patients are in the public eye. To add on, most of the time when this happens it isn't career altering. Imagine I needed a cortisone shot to do my job. Doc slips too far in, punctures my lung. Now instead of being say a "manager" I am immediately some sort of "support rep". So sure it happens, but rarely is the result career altering. Also, this is why doctors carry a TON of insurance. Sometimes very costly accidents happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you do anything, make sure you got a fall guy. Setup someone straight out of med school, or a physician assistant. It's not about merit and ability. Sure that's part of it and makes life easier. It's all about setting people up. If I was getting sued, I would just say Tyrod moved. He's got the yips or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because shamelessly lying to protect your own guilty ass when you hurt another guy's livelihood and career is just the right and only thing to do in this situation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in college, I hurt my hip in practice, barely could run, and they gave me a shot so I could play in the game and I couldn’t feel a thing. It’s a really shady business but players know the risk. For Tyrod, if he doesn’t play, he loses his starting job. Players face this every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I feel bad for Tyrod; say what you want about his limitations as a QB I will always remember Tyrod as one of the guys who was instrumental into getting this franchise turned around. Wish him well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys basically get paid to either crash into somebody with the force of a Toyota or get crashed into by a Toyota. Over and over again for about 3 hours. Then they spend the entire off season to get as strong as possible so that it hurts the other guy more. These guys are all doped up for 4-5 months of the year.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 1 hour ago, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: Been to a surgery recently ?? These docs need maps I had eye surgery a few years back due to an old injury. It took me a few years to decide to go through with it, and as they were getting ready to put me under, the nurse confirmed which eye the surgery was on, grabbed a magic marker and made an X over it. She told me it can get confusing for the doctor depending on where he was standing. It was not all that reassuring and I started to ask more questions and the lights went out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm guessing that even though this is a serious occurrence, Tyrod will recover quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
