Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 5 minutes ago, Mango said: I bet this happens all the time in the NFL. 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. Pain injections? Absolutely common in the NFL. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/2016-5-23-eugene-monroe-ravens-marijuana-opioids-toradol-nfl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if, because this procedure has a known risk of pneumothorax, the doctor explained that risk and/or had TT sign a disclaimer before it was administered. I wonder if the team, physician, and league are indemnified as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a line, as I understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. we need a “worried face emoji” reaction... lol 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a line, as I understand it. I assume every team has a handful of players getting these shots every week. To hear past players talk about it, it is pretty standard. But typically it's in a knee or arm, not the chest, and not with an accidental lung puncture! Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Seems it can happen, puncturing a lung when giving an injection to the rib area. What is more questionable, is this culture of drugs and painkillers in the NFL, including all the pain shots which are no mystery. Expect the NFL to go even more "woke" or find distractions if this becomes a topic the media focuses on, as they obviously don't want lawsuits or bad press. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised how often medical providers commit medical malpractice and suffer relatively minor professional repercussions. I'm not even entirely sure that this incident would rise to the level of medical malpractice, but I have no idea what the standard of care is in this regard.
