Ha.
After seeing how many times Ian's injury has been misdiagnosed coupled with Manu returning only to have his stress reaction turn into a fracture, I am beginning to wonder what is up with the medical staff of the team.
Maybe Manu was destined to have a stress fracture anyway, but considering Pop constantly saying "we were told he was okay to return" in regards to Ginobili and Ian being put out of action for the entire year due to what started off as a sprain ankle leaves me to have doubts about who takes care of this team.
Thoughts?
Ha.
I don't see how we could ever have the knowledge to rate the treatment they receive. I'm sure there are some conspiracy theories about Holt being too cheap to pay for MRIs waiting to develop.
good point...never noticed this fact before. maybe we should consider sacking them all
the SA medical staff didn't find what an other doctor in LA was able to find. and they didn't decide to ask this LA specialist before a long time.
that's enough to say they made a mistake.
Manu this year and Tony last year have came back from injuries without many success (obviously with more damage for manu). both time, it seems they hadn't evaluate the injuries very well.
it's enough for me to say that the question about their competence deserves to be asked.
Whether we could rate the treatment they receive or not is irrelevant. The FACT is, injuries affect the game drastically. If Ginobili and Ian were going to be out of business for the year so be it, but the right diagnosis would have given the staff a chance to compensate for their absence. It might have affected what we did before the trade deadline. In any case, we now have about two weeks to come up with a No-Ginobili plan and that is because of WRONG DIAGNOSIS. Pop believed he would have Ginobili based on the information given to him from the Medical staff. We've had the same issue with wrong information with Ian. Someone needs to look into this.
The SpursTalk Medical Review Board has spoken.
what's so unsubstantiated about the claims?
I will never refute the claims of the SpursTalk Medical Review Board.
Didn't you mean Ba?
As in a sheep Baaaah baaa baaah.
Look, another member of the SpursTalk Medical Review Board has graced us with his learned opinion.
this topic was brought up on another post, with someone gettin' butt-hurt & callin' posters names... I'll try & find it!!
It makes me laugh, I still kinda giggle when I browse the boards!!!
how hard is it to get a second opinion from other doctors?
I've always assumed that teams have top-notch medical care in place. I hope mistakes aren't being made. And I sure hope if some have been made that they learn from it and don't miss anything with Duncan.
Now the spurstalk geniuses have gone from coaches to doctors.
Is it our medical staff, or is it all the success we have had over this decade has allowed us to play so many more games......and playoff games are even more grueling than the regular season. Throw in the Olympics and World Championships and our key players have been playing pretty much year around for a decade.
I am sorry, but while I think the medical staff could possibly be a bit better, I cannot give them the Lion's share of the blame. Success, stagnant rosters, playing for their countries, and age have way more to do with it.
I'm not saying the medical staff cost us a championship, all I'm saying is that the medical staff was bit behind the 8 ball and that's a bit worrisome.
Got it, its on this page:

The fact that they're not substantiated?
Ian Mahinmi wasn't misdiagnosed?
They did! according to Manu, the results will come back in a few days.
They couldn't find the bone chip. It never showed up on any scan. Exploratory surgery was the last option, and the last option was taken last.
thanks Cherry
glad they did, where did you see that?
Date of injury: August 4th, 2008
Date of Surgery: January 30, 2009
click
that's one of a sprained ankle
Their solution the entire time was "rest."
I'm not even making a comment on the staff, but the claims ARE substantiated.
