This is true deal with Oscher or whoever needs to be burned . I mean from the Breaux injury up to mike we like to blame the players but when do we notice a trend and start to blame them

Different staff but remember how the Keenan Lewis injury was handled too.

I don't know enough about the medical staff of the Saints or any other team but what else are they supposed to do when the league culture emphasizes that you have to play hurt or you'll be replaced. I mean they ask these guys to play a physically violent sport with injuries that take a lot of time and rest to heal. They'll shoot them up with painkillers and cortisone to get through games, taking the risk of making that injury worse or developing a new injury because other parts of the body are overcompensating.

No.
Just the one about the medical staff.

How great would that be?

For the record, I had a good friend who worked for the Saints/Pels medical staff (he worked for Oschner, and he is now working for another professional team in the west). He enjoyed his time working with the Oschner training staff (from 2014-2018), but when I last spoke with him on the topic (Dec. 2021) he looks back and laughs at his time here, and how far behind the curve the team/Oschner were at the time. From facilities to treatments, to how the teams approached players with recovery plans.

When Gayle took over, the team clearly made strides to get up to par with the rest of the league. But talking with this friend (who still has contacts within the team), as of last year the team is still not on the same footing as his team.

For the record, if any of you have friends/family that work for a pro team’s training staff, ask them about how cooperative players are with recovery plans. This friend worked with Jrue Holliday, and as open minded as you would think Jrue would be to recovery plans, he was against the Pels training staff’s recovery plan. Players aren’t easy to work with.

Sorry, I won't be bashing Oschner. My dad had a heart transplant at Oschner in May 1994 and because of that we got an extra 20 years with him.

People who train at the best places in the country don’t live in Louisiana. Their med training isn’t very good…and people typically live where they train. You have to outsource medicine. I’d throw money at Andrew’s Institute

Besides food, there's no best anything else in Louisiana. It's the reason so many people leave this state. The grass is actually greener across state lines.

So you are saying DA Sip is better?

Did you know Dr Andrew’s is now a part of the Oschner team? Saw the commercial the other day!

People ask me have ever thought of moving back to Louisiana or transferring there for job openings.

I'm like ....... Nope.
