My assertion is absolutely correct under the law, spunky.
Medical information is special, you fool. It concerns the doctor-patient relationship, which is special, the same way that lawyer-client privilege is special.
Does your cellphone company require you to submit to a physical before they will provide you with cellphone service? Some things are ordinary, and some are special.
You didn't understand anything I wrote earlier, did you? Or do you just not read well? Look at what I wrote: "His refusal, however, would probably mean he would no longer be employed."
It has the same meaning as what you wrote. You're arguing with what I wrote by saying the same thing in different words. That's kind of odd, guy.
That was not a backpedal, spunky. It's exactly the same thing I wrote earlier. You just don't know enough to understand all this.
You are totally mistaken, period. It applies only to what it states. Period. You do not understand what "Fitness" means there.
Notice the context, spunky.
22.11 Fitness-to-Play.
The parties shall establish panels of physicians (each a “Fitness-to-Play Panel”) for the purpose of determining, as set forth in this Section 11, whether players with potentially life-threatening injuries, illnesses or other health conditions are medically able and medically fit to practice and play basketball in the NBA.
-^-^-^-^-^-
That is talking about life-threatening conditions, spunky. It's there because the NBA doesn't want players dropping dead.
I don't recall any cases in the NBA, but there have been cases in football, both college and pro, where players have died during practice because of a medical condition. The most famous case I recall was the death of a St Louis Cardinals football player, years ago, who dropped dead during spring practice because of a medical condition. The player was J. V. Cain, from Houston.
C'mon now, if you're going to post something, at least take the trouble to actually read it, yourself. That isn't about a player limping, or feeling pain, or if he can run and jump, it's about him maybe dying. They want the best medical input they can get to be sure that doesn't happen, of course.
You're going to remain confused no matter what you read, or are told, because you don't know enough, and you're pig headed.
Just a couple quick things. Try to pay attention.
See that word "authorize," dumbass? Consent form.
The physician has to have the player's consent before he can release the player's medical information to anybody else. The material you were kind enough to provide states exactly what I already told you. Which I knew it had to, before I read it.
That "individual authorization" is the consent form I already told you about, dumbass. Also notice the word "required." The physician requires the person's consent before he can release the info.
Which is what I already told you.
I wish it was clear to you.
I understand it, and you don't, and you don't know when to pay attention.
