Anyone else think the Dolphins medical staff....

It depends ... Are they the same monkeys with stethoscopes that advised against Brees, in favor of Culpepper?

And also caused O J McDUFFIE to lose his career because of a "turf toe"???
 
Remember when Jason Allen and Sean Smith were held out of practice with swine flu?
 
don't forget about the OJ McDuffie lawsuit

Teams send players to the same specialists for surgeries all around the country (knee specialists, foot specialists, neck, achilles, shoulder specialists etc).

So the Dolphins medical staff don't actually perform the surgeries. The same sports specialists/doctors perform the actual surgeries for most (if not all) teams. That doctor there in Alabama (forget his name) is a shoulder specialist and sees like 80% of all NFL players who have shoulder problems, as one example. Read a story about it and the story went on about how doctors work with all NFL teams and use the same specialists.

Now if you want to talk about initial diagnosis, or rehab, that's another matter entirely (although the specialists do their own post-diagnosis anyway)

Thanks for the ONLY intelligent response in this thread.
 
Sounds more like a rehabilitation issue than anything else, I wouldn't blame the docs as much as I'd blame the members rehabilitating the players. Perhaps Strength and Conditioning Coaches have played a part in this as well.
 
I wish they'd release the name of the doctor who didn't clear Drew Brees. That man needs to be done burnt at the stake.
 
If I recall correctly OJ Mcduffie career came to halt due to our medical staff.

P.S. That's what I get for not reading whole thread, oj story verified by quite a few, thanks guys
 
Dan Henning actually isn't retired, he is the team doctor now. The facility for injury analysis consists of a stethoscope, one of those little hammer thingys used for testing reflex, a light and a tongue depressor.
