I can’t agree with you Slimm this time. As a medical professional (Former paramedic now an RN) , I’ve seen many concussions and head injuries. You’re telling me these guys that fight in the MMA, and other players who have suffered concussions far worse than Tua in football should just hang it up? Time heals all wounds which is why they have a protocol in place. I know you just don’t like seeing Tua in a Dolphins uniform, but his concussions are no more different than anyone else’s that have experienced them in professional sports.
He knows nothing of what he speaks. He’s great at evaluating football, but seems to believe that somehow also qualifies him as a medical expert.
I’m no medical expert, but I have two eyes and two ears. I saw Tua grab at his back after being bent backward and essentially hyperextending is back in a goal line pile up. Then I heard actual medical experts state that he passed concussion protocol and that the reason for his gross motor instability was the lower back injury he suffered earlier in the game.
But Slimm and other non-medical experts on this site somehow know differently? Give me a break.
I‘ll bet we actually do have a few medical professionals among the members of this site and I doubt any of them would risk their reputation by diagnosing someone w/o personally evaluating them. Yet we have a bunch of non-medical professionals that seem to believe they can make a proper diagnosis w/o having even 1/10th of the information. Go figure.
You can’t make this stuff up.
